The history of Big Rock Sports in Canada goes back nearly 40 years to the founding of Inland Pacific Distributors, LLC in Langley, BC. Under the guidance of Tony Nesci and Stu Slater, Inland Pacific became the leader in hunting, fishing and marine distribution for independent retailers and eventually expanded east to serve retailers throughout Canada.
In 2011, Nesci and Slater transitioned the ownership of Inland Pacific to Big Rock Sports because they felt that Big Rock would be able to sustain the growth of the company. With the acquisition of Inland, Big Rock ensured that sporting goods retailers in Canada would continue to receive the services they had come to expect, in addition to Big Rock’s extensive product selection.
