PROUD OF OUR Story
It all started locally
SAIL is proudly Quebecois. It all started 40 years ago, when SAIL was a simple surplus store with a sole owner, located in Beloeil, Québec. However, this original store sold clothing as well as outdoor, hunting, and fishing items all under one roof – a concept whose potential captured the attention of future SAIL’s three future founders, who decided to purchase the Beloeil location in 2005.
Since then, SAIL has evolved tremendously and has experienced remarkable growth, becoming one of the most known names in the industry.

TIMELINE
SAIL is a Quebecois enterprise that was launched in the city of Beloeil in the late 1970s. Its name, an acronym for Surplus d’Armée Imrico Limité, has remained the same.
Since its creation, the brand has gained recognition well beyond its native region with numerous store openings now including Ontario.
