Yet another Canadian retailer has called it quits in 2020.
Swimco, one of Canada’s largest swimwear store franchises, has confirmed its Kelowna location along with its 17 other stores across the country have closed for good.
“It’s time we say, sea you later,” it said on its website.
“After 45 years in business, Swimco must close its doors. Thank you for all the support and memories you gave us during this adventure. Canada is a country built on family business, and with that drive and determination we will see bluer skies and greener seas in the future.”
The swimwear retailer opened its first store in Calgary in 1982 and had retail locations spanning from BC to Ontario.
A notice on Swimco’s website states that the company filed for bankruptcy in June of this past summer, and has permanently closed all of its storefronts as of October 10.
However, the company’s online store remains open and they are offering a 45% off sale for all online purchases.
