A long time ago, two friends shared the same interests and hobbies. They decided that since they had a large collection of junk that maybe other people would like to buy some of their junk. After all, one mans garbage is another mans gold. They became partners of a business titled K-W Surplus. The two partners were Ray Whittemore and Bill Ellis. Their business began at 327 Breithaupt Street in 1979. What did they sell? The stock was anything and everything. Whatever they could get their hands on for a cheap enough price they bought. Though they were sometimes surprised that people bought some of the items they thought wouldnt sell well, their business grew very quickly. The business got too big, or maybe they were buying too many things, some stock was stored a great distance from the stores site. In 1982, only 3 years after opening the store, they had to move to a larger building, thus the store was moved to its current location at 666 Victoria St. North. The business continued to grow at the new location, and in 1993 Ray bought the remaining portion of the business from his partner Bill. Other Stores were also opened in different cities, including; London, Hamilton, Owen Sound, Ottawa, Sarnia, and Brantford. Unfortunately the stores in Ottawa, Sarnia, and Brantford are no longer open.
