It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Barklays has closed its doors. It’s time for me to retire. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the thousands of customers who have made our store your choice when it comes to outdoor gear. It has been pleasure serving the Durham Region for over 20 years, but like all good things, the end must come. For our loyal customers that have been coming to the big log cabin for years, we will endeavor to replace our store with another quality business with similar product-lines and commitment to \service. Keep an eye out for an exciting new store opening in the very near future. In the mean time, I’m off to the sunny south for some much needed R & R .
