This has been a family operated business going on three generations. My father and his brother opened the doors on the heels of the Korean conflict.

While the basic 'surplus business' has changed dramatically over the years, we have carefully kept pace with the times to appeal to a broad range of consumers....from the well informed collector...to someone wanting to make an 'edgy' fashion statement!

No question...we could probably write a best selling book about some of the fascinating people we have encountered, buying trips we have had, the wonderful (and sometimes scary) things we have discovered in storage sheds and shipments from far away lands.

Over the years we have worked with several movie companies providing props and equipment like tanks, mortars, guns, half tracks sub-marine mines, cam nets, tents....you name it!

Christine and her husband Michael (who spent many years in the fashion industry) have done a fabulous job of meeting the challenges of doing business in today's economy. They recently re-designed the outside of our rather unique business compound to include a few beautifully hand painted nostalgic images on the front of the main quanset.

We enjoy seeing serving the many customers who regularily drop by our store in the trendy Inglewood District of Calgary.

We are proud of our first 50 years in business and look forward to serving you for many years to come. We appreciate your business and are constantly looking for ways to better our service.
