In 1969, John and Gail laid the foundation for Headingley Sport Shop, becoming Polaris dealers in a small building on Portage Avenue in Headingley. What began as their winter hobby quickly turned into a community favorite as snowmobiles became a common sight around Charleswood, St. James, and Headingley. In 1971, the shop relocated to a two-bay garage on Bridge Road, and soon after, a larger cinder block building marked their growing success.
