Bartle & Gibson has reached another milestone, as it has been 80 years since Charlie Bartle of Victoria, BC, and Cecil Gibson of Vancouver, BC, each first started a store in their respective city. To celebrate, Bartle & Gibson created branded merchandise (t-shirts, hoodies, hats, toques lanyards etc), held customer appreciate shows at most of its branches and event created a special anniversary playlist.

Over the past 80 years Bartle & Gibson has expanded into new markets (Alberta, Saskatchewan, North West erritories and new areas of British Columbia), expanded product offerings (electrical and more recently, HVAC), and even acquired new businesses (Triangle Supply) and started our showroom brand (Bartle & Gibson Showrooms).
