Tailgate Mercantile Co.'s Final Inning – Closing the Storefront
Well, team, it’s official. After 6 adventurous years, it’s time to call the game and close the storefront. My lease is up at the end of February, and I’ve made the tough decision not to renew.
Here’s the Game Plan:
- All Sales Final
Effective Saturday, January 18, 2025, all sales are final. As we reduce inventory for the closure, we cannot accept returns or exchanges.
- Gift Cards
Gift cards will be accepted until 11:59pm, Saturday, February 8, 2025.
Gift cards are only valid on current in-stock merchandise and our "Online Exclusives" collections, not custom designs. Remember, if you can't make it into the shop, gift cards can be redeemed online. We offer free in-store pick-up and $20 flat rate shipping.
For those that may be concerned about getting something "good", I would recommend shopping sooner rather than later. We cannot guarantee stock availability for those that do not choose to use gift cards in the early stages of our storefront closure.
Refunds will not be provided for gift cards. If you have not used your gift card before February 8, 2025, it will no longer be valid.
Gift cards are no longer available for sale effective immediately.

- Markdowns
Keep an eye on social media and our website for details about final markdowns. Progressive discounts will begin towards the end of January.
- Fixtures and Displays
Many of the shop's fixtures, furniture, display items, etc. will also be available for sale. We are currently itemizing all fixtures, etc. If you are interested in any particular items, please don't hesitate to inquire in person or by email: info@tailgatemercantile.ca.
What’s Next for Me? This isn’t goodbye; it’s just the start of a new ballgame. I’ll still be creating custom designs, artwork, and wallets—just from a different dugout.
So, keep following our social media and website for updates on where you can find my designs and order custom creations (after we take a bit of a break, of course!).
Wrigley will work from home and continue his role as Manager / World's Best Boy.
I’ll also continue my work at Foothills Country Hospice, where I’m honoured to be part of a team doing meaningful work for our community.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to everyone who’s stepped up to the plate—whether you walked through the doors, shopped online, or cheered on this crazy little idea I had—thank you. Tailgate Mercantile Co. has been an incredibly memorable chapter in my life, and it’s all because of you.
Stay tuned and keep hitting dingers, friends.
xoxo
