From what i can tell, MEC is generally doing better after being acquired (and IIRC shutting down some stores). before bankruptcy, their own-brand products were seriously dipping in quality and the stores seemed to be shifting more towards premium athlesiure rather than proper outdoor gear.
post bankruptcy they're rebuilding their own-label stuff, and at least in calgary there seems to be more staff in the store and the product mix is shifting back towards stuff i can't find in other local stores.
