Mountain Equipment Company, or MEC, is a chain of Canadian retail stores that sell outdoor recreation gear, formed from the assets of the defunct retail co-operative Mountain Equipment Co-op. It was formed by the American private equity firm Kingswood Capital Management, which acquired these assets in October 2020. In 2025, it was sold to a "group of Canadian investors", with Kingswood retaining a minority stake in the company.
