City Paints was originally a hardware store called City Hardware Supply founded in 1898 in a small space directly across the street from our current location. The original owners, Esther and Harry Zuckerman, were both natives of Europe who immigrated to Canada as children. One of their sons, Michael, the youngest of 11 children, took over the business just after the war in 1945.
It was around that time that the store started to specialize in paints. In 1959, Michael soon realized that the space occupied by City Hardware was too small and decided to re-build the store across the street, in its present location. A few years later, Michael's son Danny joined the business. He was followed by his other brothers Allan, who put in 25 years at the store, before setting out to expand his own sales territory independently in 1999.
