THE RIGGING SHOPPE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS!
Apr 1, 2019
Keeping Boaters Safe for 50 Years – The Rigging Shoppe is a family owned and operated marine supply store for power and sail located in Toronto.
This well stocked 1,000 square foot store was opened by Bruce Burgess in 1969. Bruce and his wife Shirley operated the business until 1998 and now spend their time near Kingston, Ontario.
The Rigging Shoppe has occupied several places in Scarborough, but since 1993 the store resides at 44 Midwest Road, just off the west side of Midland Avenue, north of Lawrence Avenue.
In 1989, after many summers of part-time work, their daughter, Carolyn Burgess began working full-time at the shop.
Carolyn continues to offer the same degree of customized service that Bruce Burgess was famous for. She leads a team of staff that understand boats and their associated parts intimately.
On Saturday, April 6 from 9am – 5pm the Rigging Shoppe will be celebrating it’s 50th anniversary.
Shirley and Bruce Burgess, the founders will be in attendance to say hi and renew old acquaintances.
There will be a silent auction benefiting the Princess Margaret Cancer Center, a contest for a $500 Rigging Shoppe gift certificate as well as many great in-store deals.
Contact Carolyn Burgess at 416-752-1711 or Carolyn@riggingshoppe.com for more details.
