We are a Canadian owned Company that began in 1973 in St Catharines, Ontario.

Known locally as Arlies, our shop specialized in active lifestyle apparel and equipment, catering to outdoor thrill-seekers and sports enthusiasts alike.

Since that time we have expanded our presence in Canada to more than 80 stores nation-wide, now known to most as Boathouse. 

We also have a chain of lifestyle shoe stores across Canada; Blackwell Supply Company.

Our goal is to cater to all lifestyle enthusiasts by carrying all the brands that they love, including Vans, Billabong, Converse, Champion, Adidas, Fila, Puma, Obey, RVCA and Volcom.
