Evolve Toy Store

Evolve Toy Store

Sam at Evolve

Evolve Eco Friendly Toys has been offering environmentally friendly toys since founded by its owner Samantha McInnis in 2009. Born and raised in Meaford, McInnis` battery-free, eco-friendly concept has proven popular in her hometown.

“Growing up and being a part of Meaford has left a warm place in my heart, with fond memories of shops and welcoming owners I experienced as a child – many of whom are still here today. It’s great to walk down the street and greet people you know.

Meaford is a close knit community with a passion for green business and a green way of life. Owning a retail green business in my community is a dream come true. I love contributing to the uniqueness of Meaford with activities like raising Monarch caterpillars and having them in the shop for people to come and see and learn about their life cycle. This creates a positive environment for those who are young - and young at heart.

Meaford is full of parents and grandparents eager to spoil their children and grandchildren with safe, healthy, unique and enriching toys.”
(Samantha McInnis, Owner of Evolve Toy Store)

Samantha is now expanding Evolve’s offerings further into the baby and baby shower market.Find Evolve Toy Store at:

Knights’ Home Building Centre

Knights’ Home Building Centre

Tyler Knight

In the summer of 2010 the Home Building Centre expanded from a 5000 sq. foot to 14000 sq. ft store and doubled its offering of products from 12 to 24 thousand items.

“Our family has been in the lumber business for over 150 years in Meaford. It all started six generations ago with a saw mill. From the saw mill, the operation started manufacturing flooring, furniture, windows and doors. Today, our focus is on manufacturing and operating a Home Building Centre.

Community support has been outstanding, and that support is why we were able to once again expand and move our store to its new location on Highway 26 in the summer of 2010.

The community gets behind a project and continues to support it by shopping locally. That is one of the reasons why I love Meaford. A smaller community provides the opportunity to know your customers and their needs.”
