Candice started with the Sports Experts team shortly after it opened in 2000.
Candice says that working at the store has been so much more than just a job for her. When she started there she was 20 years old, working part time as a summer student while she was finishing her degree.๐ฉ๐ปโ๐She went on to meet her husband Mike (AKA the Hydro hottie๐) literally at the store and continued working during her pregnancies and then eventually moving to part time after she had her two boys. The job was always flexible for her and has afforded her a wonderful work/life balance as a mom which she is so grateful for.๐๐ป
She says she has been so fortunate to work with some pretty great people along the way.๐คฉ From the owners, to all the great staff, to sales reps, and buyers from other SE stores, many of whom are now lifelong friends. She believes that the connections made were because the store was built around family values and providing great service. There was a genuine personal connection with each customer that was made between the staff and our loyal community. The outpouring of support from everyone over the past weeks has been a testament to that and has been so touching. Candice says it has really meant a lot to her and all the staff feeling the love, support and kindness everyone has shown them during the close down process.๐
She has always felt proud of their little store and she wanted to thank Neil, Jonathan and Robyn who made Sports Experts a very special place to work.๐ซ๐
