Remember when the Jets were here, there were a few "Jets All-Sports" stores?
I think there was one in Garden City and one in Polo Park mall... I could be wrong about this, so someone correct me If I am.
When the Jets return, why not have a few Jets retail outlets at Kildonan Place, Polo Park, Garden City, and Portage Place that sells NHL gear (but mostly Jets merch.)?
Certainly it could generate revenue for the new Jets, couldn't it?
I just think 1 merch. store in the MTS Centre that specifically caters to the Jets fan won't be enough.

They have this with Edmonton already, where they have a retail store.... I forget where, but they have one. I believe that most teams do as well.

I think the Minnesota Twins have their own retail stores? Maybe Nik can help me out on this one...

The Oiler's shop is at Kingsway Garden Mall (or it could be Londonderry Mall). But For Winnipeg The MTSC/Portage Place, Polo Park and St Vital are the best choices. Especially the latter two since they are very busy.

And I wonder how big a % of the profits of these stores would go directly to the Jets..?
100%? 50%?

the one in st vital mall was pretty tiny if I remember corectly.
I think it would be so cool if the Jets had huge hockey store that included everything you can buy on NHL.com.
Maybe the NHL can be part owner of the store as well.
