The Brick Group LP, Canadian owned and operated, opened its first store in Edmonton, Alberta on September 1, 1971.

Coming from a background in hockey, owner Bill Comrie learned at a young age the value of ‘effective’ leadership, ‘real’ teamwork, and the importance of goals and has built The Brick into the billion dollar company it is today.

The Brick Warehouse, or The Brick, got its name from a move into a “brick” building in 1975. That first location was 4500 square feet and had four employees. As of June 2008 we operate over 200 locations including:
 

• 100 Brick locations
• 32 Franchise locations
• 23 Mattress locations
• 3 Super Store locations
• 4 Small Space Furniture locations
• 10 Clearance locations
• 43 United Furniture Warehouse locations
  
   

This makes The Brick Canada's largest volume retailer of home furnishings, bedding, appliances, televisions, video recorders and stereo equipment under one roof.
