ARMY & NAVY closing permanently

[ChilliSpoons]

As a kid growing up in Edmonton we were frequent shoppers at the A&N store. It was interesting seeing all the local Hutterites shopping dressed in black.

Some old stock from the sixties.

Forgot to mention. I got the old creel there, you can partially see in the pic in 1979.
Old school, for sure.

Anyone’s been checking out to see if it’s worth the trip down to NW? Their fishing dept was already quiet empty even before Xmas.

Not worth it, if you aren’t there in the first hour the flippers will take everything.

So you are saying there will be lots of new gear being listed on Craigslist?

I’d be surprised if there is much of anything on their shelves come sale day. Last two times I was in the New West store, spring of 2019 and spring 2020, the shelves were already pretty bare. When I asked why so little stock I was told they were doing an inventory count, yeah right. I’ve been shopping here since they took over the location from Eaton’s in the 70’s and I’ve never seen stock so low. Still sad to see it go.

Ditto the Vancouver store shelf after shelf just empty thinking about it I may have posted that here at one point.

And back in early March I finally made it to the Langley store-it was pretty much empty too I had a pocketful of money but there was ZIP to buy.

I was there at the Langley store in February with some money my 11 year old even said that it looks like they are going out of business, walked out not buying a thing

Was my second job as a young fella at the Columbia Street store. Worked great in sporting goods section First job was a pin setter at the bowling alley down the street OMG. Good times back then. Hunting pigeons and under neath the docks LOL

Looks like a new store has opened up in the Old Langley Army and Navy location. Went in there to check it out and was surprised that they have a full fishing and camping section. Bunch of stuff on sale. I talked to the guy in the fishing section and he worked at the new west store of army and navy and he appeared to know his stuff.

People should check it out.

What’s it called? Same type of store where you can buy a little bit of everything?

Edit: found its Mcfrugals. They bought lots of A&N old stock and sell a bunch of the same items

An old pic from the dt store. A true era for sure.

Good to hear!
Spent a lot of time and money in the Langley store. Had good stock and most of the people knew what they were talking about!

Berry’s bait is for sale, hopefully someone buys it and keeps it open if not now there will be no one but bass pro

it's been sold. I was told the former owners are still "on staff". None of the store from regulars were there when I was in. Be interesting to see if and how it changes
