History

Established in 2004.

During the first year of business the the company was importing pocket bikes, scooters as well ATV’s. The majority of the product lines were not main stream brands, however they were much less than the big brands and turned out to be very popular with customers. Unfortunately, there was no parts support from the manufacturers which is key to offering customers true value and support for what they purchase. Alex realized that this was not a trend he could support. At that time the store’s General Manager was very interested in RC toys and after seeing his toys and the level of interest he had, Alex decided to bring some RC toys into the showroom to see how they would sell. Before you knew it the RC toys were surpassing the sales of the other products in the store. A year later the store was moved to its current location, was stocked with RC product with full parts and service support for everything sold and we have never looked back. 2014 was our 10^th year in business !

Alex was born in Etobicoke and since a child has always been fascinated with toys of all sorts. As a young adult Alex became a ski instructor and taught downhill skiing for many years thoughout Ontario and at Lake Louise & Banff in Alberta as well as Whistler, BC.

At 21 he married and decided it was time to stop being a professional ski instructor and get a «regular day job». He worked in Landscaping doing complete landscaped gardens as well as working with the grounds crews at St. George’s Golf Course & Toronto Islington Golf Course. After studying to be a lawyer, then considering to be an accountant, Alex choose none of the above and decided to open a toy store.
