That's a huge blow. Those are ALL five stores in the GTA, and the only remaining one in Ontario will be in Ottawa. Not a great sign for Canada's most populous city/province, a logistics hub, etc. If you can't make it there....
Decathlon is a great store. My kid recently went on a grade 8 sailing trip and needed lots of stuff, and that place was a life saver. And maybe I'll change my opinion in a few years when things start to fall apart, but my initial impression is that the quality is pretty damn good, especially at the price point.
Long live Decathlon!
