Savoy Equipment Ltd.

Equipment suppliers tend to occupy the sort of address you only find when you are looking for it. Savoy Equipment Ltd. works from 1929 Windsor Road, on the Dilworth side of Kelowna, where the hillside streets that wrap Dilworth Mountain give way to flatter working ground below them.

Kelowna is the service centre for the whole valley, so shops here often deal with customers driving in from well outside the city limits, and a phone call before a long trip in saves an awkward afternoon. The outdoor season in this valley runs long, from the lake in summer to the hills above it in winter, which keeps steady demand on anyone supplying gear for getting outside, and the warm stretch of the year is usually the busiest part of the calendar. Hot dry summers push people toward the water and the trails, and gear that has sat all winter tends to need a once-over at exactly the moment everyone else is asking for the same attention. Sorting that out in spring is worth the small effort.
