Too bad, I liked having the store and staff focused on outdoors gear with some good discounts as part of being in the CT empire. I suspect at lot of the higher end items that Atmosphere had will not be carried anymore, and we'll be left with low-mid market SKU's (like the golf selection at a Sports Chek)

Yeah, that's too bad. On one hand it was always pretty slow in there, so I'm surprised it lasted this long...but I liked that they carried some higher end brands like Arcteryx that you could sometimes get on sale, although they stopped carrying that too ever since Arcteryx opened its own boutique.
The MEC/Atmosphere/Camera Store was quite the Beltline triangle of retail bliss for me at its peak. Down to 1 quality store I guess.
