WHO
WE ARE
If
you are new to our little website, allow us to
introduce ourselves:
We are a ski, snowboard and bike shop located in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada. Our story is one rich in history and
colorful in it's tradition. Our beloved founder Gord
Reid started all of this some 40-plus years ago and we're
just doing everything we possibly can to live up to his
legacy in:
Pursuing excellence, honor and professionalism in sports retail.
Educating our customers in what they need in order to fulfill their goals, dreams or aspirations as they relate to what we do.
Selling only what we sincerely believe in and recommending to our customers only what we ourselves would consider.
Promoting true value and real RELATIONSHIPS with our customers.
Being involved, promoting and participating in the sports we do and being outspoken about issues that we care deeply about.
If you're a discount shopper looking for blow-out cheap
merchandise at prices that prohibit stuff like proper
service, demos, great knowledgeable & caring staff
and things like staying in business, may we recommend
you go back to your search engine and try another link.
We try hard to not be perceived as elitist and more expensive
than the next guy... BUT... It's tough not to labeled
as such when you make it policy not to sell someone the
wrong thing... Or when you make a conscious effort not
to sell inferior product just to make a quick buck...
We'd rather NOT sell you something than sell you the wrong
thing... And while we will gladly credit, refund or exchange
an unsatisfactory product... We'd rather not. So we try
hard, very hard to do it right the first time. We go to
extremes to buy the right stuff to then humbly offer it
to you.
A 'surfer' once sent us an Email lambasting our site
calling it devoid of product and price lists. Right he
was. we view www.Gords.com as your window into our culture.
Think of it as a window into all that we're about... Our
core values and experience... You can click through this
site and get a pretty good sense of who you're dealing
with when you do decide to come into our store on 7 Donald
Street. Far too many of our customers have our little
website as their home page, I am amazed at how many folks
visit us on a daily basis... flattering yet puzzling.
Is it THAT interesting? I guess some kind people think
so. Thank you to them.
Our new lowest price policy on absolutely EVERYTHING
we sell matched with the absolute best service, advice
and expertise in the business. add to that the best darned
boot-fitting on the planet and the best board, bike, in-line
and ski techs anywhere, not to mention our top-notch ski
school and in-line skate school... All geared to help
you do whatever it is you want to do BETTER, FASTER, EASIER
and with gobs MORE FUN... All of that and MORE! - It's
all part of our renewed commitment to you, our valued
customers.
Should you want more specific information than we've thought
to provide, each page should (I say 'should' because like
everything worth doing, this is a continuous work in progress...)
feature an 'expert' (from our staff) for you to access
if you have a gear or sport related question. We'll endeavor
to respond to your query in as much detail within one
day of your Email...
There, I think we've covered the meat of it. Should you
have any questions or comments or suggestions, positive
or otherwise, please direct your Email to JF@Gords.com
we read and respond to every single Email sent to us...
We seek and appreciate your input. It's absolutely the
only way we can ever hope to better ourselves and elevate
our little enterprise to be what we fully desire it to
be: The Best.
