Our annual summer holiday on the Prairies gave us another opportunity to visit the main Asham’s store at 700 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg’s North End. Asham’s huge retail outlet is a mecca for both competitive and recreational curlers, where autographed portraits of well-known teams adorn the walls and stairways in the main retail space, and the manufacturing floor at the rear is in full production of the coming season’s lines of brooms. I have used Asham equipment since I first started curling and the quality of their equipment, and their level of service, is second-to-none.
With the assistance of Asham’s helpful staff (Audrey) we were able to find new Slam curling shoes at a substantial discount, along with a whole range of other equipment including Asham curling mitts, Asham stopwatches for my boys, and a new, wider cloth broom bag – for carrying all those brooms to Little Rock and bantam bonspiels.
