Creditshop was started at the peak of COVID. With nothing to do and a love and passion for sneakers and streetwear, it began as a way to sell items that weren’t being worn in order to add new ones to the collection.

The love for business and the fashion scene quickly grew, and Creditshop—previously known as “SnkerCredit”—expanded at a rapid pace. From traveling across Ontario for pop-up events, to meeting for pickups and drop-offs, to growing our social media presence, the momentum was nonstop. In mid-2023, the jump was made from side hustle to full-time business. The support in Hamilton was exponential, but we saw a gap in the Niagara Region: a need for high-quality vintage and streetwear at fair prices.

In February 2024, our first location on Queen Street in Niagara Falls opened its doors—and that marked the start of rapid growth in the Niagara Region.

Two months later, Niagara’s premier indoor mall reached out, interested in working with us to open our second location at the Pen Centre Mall in St. Catharines. In August 2024, we opened the doors to that second location. Being featured in the Niagara Review newspaper twice in six months for opening two stores felt like a dream come true.

Since then, we’ve decided to focus on our Pen Centre location—and now, we’re bringing our physical store to your fingertips!

We’ve built great relationships within the community. We’re proud to work with the CEBL champions, the Niagara River Lions (as a team sponsor), the OHL’s Niagara IceDogs, Brock University, and many more businesses throughout the region.

Niagara has been great to us. It’s now home—and we’re proud to bring the Niagara Region its best curation of authentic streetwear and vintage, right here at the Pen Centre Mall.
