Company origins
Leon’s Furniture Limited, originally known as the A. Leon Company, was founded in 1909 in Southern Ontario by Ablan Leon. The retailer began by selling products such as pants, blankets, shoes and linens, and later expanded their offering to larger household items and furniture. In 1969, in order to facilitate expansion, the retailer went public and was listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. A few years later, the company opened the first warehouse showroom, otherwise known as a “big box” store, in all of Canada.
