After 55 years of family ownership, Rigging Shoppe, a marine supply store in Toronto, is excited to announce a new chapter. While some other marine outlets have vanished, the Rigging Shoppe happily lives on and will be there as always.
Diane and Paul Reid have taken over ownership, bringing their extensive on-water experience and passion for boating to the helm. The Rigging Shoppe has been a go-to where GTA boaters could be assured of knowledgeable advice and a broad inventory.
Diane, a professional skipper, racer, rigger and instructor, along with Paul, who has over 30 years of racing experience and a love for fishing and power boating, are committed to maintaining the high standards and customer service that Rigging Shoppe is known for.

“We are thrilled to continue the tradition of excellence that Rigging Shoppe has upheld for so many years,” said Diane Reid. “We look forward to serving the marine community with the same dedication and care.”
Carolyn Burgess, the previous owner, will remain full-time for the next two years to ensure a smooth transition. Her continued presence will help maintain the familiar and trusted atmosphere customers have come to expect.
Customers can look forward to the same top-quality products and friendly, knowledgeable staff, along with new products and initiatives that combine Diane and Paul’s fresh perspective with their extensive expertise.
