About The Brick
The Brick Ltd. is one of Canada's largest volume retailers of furniture, mattresses, appliances and home electronics. The company was founded as The Brick Warehouse LP in Edmonton, Alberta with the first warehouse opening on September 1, 1971. Its first expansion was to Fort McMurray, Alberta in the 1970s and later acquired a competitor in the city of Calgary.
Over the past 35 years, The Brick has expanded across Canada and now operates 194 retail stores (including 20 franchise locations) in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. (Quebec stores are branded simply as Brick.) In addition, the Brick Group Income Fund operates distribution centres in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal.
In March 2004, the company acquired United Furniture Warehouse which had 81 locations throughout Canada at the time.[2] In 2006, 24 stores were rebranded as "The Brick" in a strategic attempt to save on advertising costs and increase sales.
On November 11, 2012, The Brick announced that competitor Leon's would acquire the company for $700 million subject to approval of shareholders. Following the acquisition, Leon's plans to maintain the two separate chains.

THE BRICK IS PROUDLY CANADIAN
The Brick was made in Canada, and we’re proud to call ourselves Canadian.
Being Canadian is part of our identity, and it plays a part in everything we do. We hire a lot of amazing men and women from across the country. We sell Canadian-made products. When you buy from The Brick, you can feel proud knowing you are supporting a variety of local businesses. We also partner with Canadian charities to help people in our very own backyard. And when our fellow Canadians are in need of support, we stand by their side and are honoured to do our part.
Here at The Brick, there’s nothing we are more proud of than our roots.

WE ARE INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITIES
At The Brick, we know how meaningful it is to give back to the communities that support us. Being part of your neighbourhood means caring about what impacts people’s lives every day. Part of our commitment is helping to improve the lives of children, Brick by Brick.
