Quebec outdoor retailer La Cordée, founded in 1953, is closing its remaining three stores after filing for creditor protection in July.
The closure was revealed in a message on its website.
After filing for bankruptcy, the retailer closed two locations in Laval and Longueuil. The three stores remaining open included two La Cordée locations in Montreal on Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Saint-Hubert, as well as the La Vie Sportive store in Quebec City. The La Vie Sportive banner was acquired in 2018.
La Cordée also sought creditor protection in 2020, when it was acquired by MACH Capital.
