After decades of operations out of its Rock Bay retail location, local sporting goods retailer, Sports Traders, plans to vacate its premises at 508 Discovery Street.

The 23,723 square foot retail unit has been put up for lease and is available "immediately" at a monthly rent of $17,500 plus monthly operating costs of $6,936, according to commercial real-estate brokerage Cushman Wakefield.

The space is situated in a former BC Electric Company street car storage facility built in 1913. In subsequent decades the building was converted to retail uses and includes the sporting goods store, a nightclub, a gymnastic training facility and a grocery store.

Sports Traders’ future location has not been confirmed, however, operators say plenty of advance notice will be forthcoming prior to the move. C
