It opened in the latter part of 1992 as the brain child of Alan Stephenson and Ben Ferguson. The original location (shown in the video below) overlooked Queen Street, but they quickly relocated the front of the facility when a more prime retail space opened up. The pair split in 1994 as Ben set out to distance himself from Stephenson, who then became the sole proprietor for a short period of time.\nFor most of Toronto\u2019s Golden Age the store truly was the scene\u2019s headquarters.
