ABOUT US – 50 Years
1971-2021: The Brick Turns 50!
The Brick started in 1971 as a single furniture store in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. 50 years later, you can shop with us from coast-to-coast. We serve Canadians from Victoria to St. John’s and operate over 209 locations and seven distribution centres. We are proud to have maintained the charitable and customer-first attitude we had when we first opened 50 years ago.
Without you, our valued customer, we couldn’t have achieved this remarkable milestone. Thank you for your continued years of support!
