Decathlon is great for some niche things. And then some common things; their backpacks and travel packs are well rated for the price point, and a lot of reasonably priced stuff that cost 3x at Sport Chek. Basic hiking or camping stuff it's really good for as well.
But, their floor space is massive which has to hurt especially in Toronto.
As mentioned earlier, Team Town is a similar situation. A lot of top quality gear and a lot of sports not served properly by Sport Chek (ie baseball softball basketball soccer). Stores are well stocked with good selection, but it's a ghost town in there, in again, a big store space.
