The first Urban Barn retail store was opened in Vancouver in 1990 by two childhood friends, Rick and Craig, from Virden, Manitoba. Shortly after, they were joined by Sébastien and all three took an active role in building the company, including driving around delivering furniture. Ten years later, the company had nine stores in British Columbia and Manitoba.
In 2007, the Stern Group became the majority owner of the company and the company continued to grow whilst remaining 100% Canadian owned. Today, it has grown to over 50 stores across Canada with over 650 team members. You can find your nearest Urban Barn by using the location finder on the company’s website.
