History

Established in 1981.

Gibbons Motor Toys began operation in June of 1981 under the name of The Service Department. At this time, automotive repair and maintenance was the primary business.

Tim Panasiuk (owner and President) expanded the company in 1989 and added a Mercury Marine franchise. As the recreational side continued to grow, the operating name was changed in the early 1990s to Gibbons Auto and Leisure Centre.

In 1995, the Ski-​Doo franchise was added, and in 2000 a decision was made to discontinue the automotive repair side. This was done to allow for a better overall focus on the recreational business.

This also produced the need for a new name: Gibbons Motor Toys.

In May 2011, Gibbons Motor Toys opened its second location in Salmon Arm, British Columbia to expand the marine division of the business.

Gibbons Motor Toys is located on Main Street in Gibbons, AB in a 14,000 square foot building. Gibbons is located 20 minutes north of Edmonton where highways 28 and 28A intersect.
