Our Journey
Our story began in the basement of our founders, Gary and Bev Shearer, on Bayleaf Court in Peterborough. What started as a small, family-run operation with a handful of products soon blossomed into something much larger. In just three short months, the Shearers found themselves outgrowing their home-based business, leading to the move into a 1,000 square-foot warehouse to accommodate the increasing demand. That warehouse became the launching pad for further growth as our reputation for excellent products and service spread throughout the community. Soon after, we relocated to a 3,000 square-foot facility on Pido Road to keep up with our expanding inventory and customer base.
As our customer needs continued to grow, so did our operations. The space on Pido Road quickly became too small, prompting the addition of a further 3,500 square feet to the existing warehouse. Even with this expansion, it became clear that our trajectory required more room to continue delivering the high level of service our customers had come to expect. A second addition of 7,000 square feet followed shortly thereafter, ensuring we could house our ever-expanding inventory and continue to meet customer demand. Yet, even that wasn’t enough to contain our growth. By 1995, after nearly 20 years of continuous expansion, we made the significant move to our current 24,000 square-foot facility at 771 Webber Avenue—a space that allowed us to fully realize our vision of providing a one-stop solution for all cleaning needs.
Our Product and Commitment
What began as a modest selection of cleaning supplies has transformed over the years into an expansive inventory that caters to both basic and specialized cleaning requirements. From residential cleaning products like floor cleaners, disinfectants, and everyday consumables to professional-grade equipment such as floor scrubbers, vacuums, and extractors, we offer a comprehensive range of products that ensures our customers always have access to what they need. We pride ourselves on being a reliable supplier of everything from toilet paper and hand soap to PPE and first aid supplies, helping individuals and businesses maintain not only cleanliness but also safety and hygiene.
Our commitment to our customers is embodied in a simple philosophy that has guided us from the very beginning. As Bev Shearer often says, “If there’s something somebody wants, we’ll do whatever we can to supply it.” This customer-first approach has been a driving force behind our success and our ability to meet the evolving needs of those we serve. Whether it’s stocking the latest in green cleaning products, offering personalized service to help clients choose the right equipment for their specific needs, or simply making sure that our shelves are always full, we are dedicated to ensuring that every customer leaves satisfied.
Our relationships with our suppliers are another cornerstone of our success. Over the years, we’ve built strong partnerships with some of the most respected names in the industry, including Kruger, SC Johnson, Globe, NILFISK, Fordis, R3, and many more. These long-standing partnerships have allowed us to provide our customers with high-quality, trusted brands that they can rely on. In fact, we are proud to say that we were among the very first contract customers for some of these companies, a testament to the strength and longevity of the relationships we have cultivated. It is through these partnerships that we have been able to consistently deliver the quality products our customers expect.
Our Legacy and Vision
As a family business, we understand the importance of relationships, not just with our suppliers but also with our customers. Many of our clients have been with us for years, and we take great pride in the trust they place in us. Our legacy is one of community, integrity, and service. We believe that our success is built on the strength of these relationships, and it is our ongoing mission to ensure that we continue to earn the trust of those we serve. Whether it's through our personalized service, our commitment to stocking the best products on the market, or our dedication to ensuring the needs of our customers are met, we aim to provide an experience that goes beyond just a transaction.
Looking forward, we are excited about the future. With nearly 50 years of experience, we are well-positioned to continue adapting to the changing landscape of the cleaning industry. We remain committed to expanding our product lines, improving our services, and embracing new technologies that will allow us to serve our customers even better.
