What Grand &Toy does

Grand & Toy is a privately held Canadian B2B workplace solutions provider headquartered in Woodbridge, Ontario, operating for approximately 140 years. The company offers a broad multi-category catalog spanning office supplies, technology (notebooks, desktops, tablets, displays, printers, Apple products, ink/toner consumables), breakroom, cleaning and maintenance, paper, furniture, mail/pack/ship, and health and safety products, alongside services including custom stamps, managed print services, water cooler rental, cartridge recycling, and recurring subscriptions.

Its customer base spans 30,000+ corporate clients across 20+ industries, including 41 TSX-60 firms, with concentrated vertical focus on government, education, healthcare, retail, corporate, and hospitality segments. Distribution combines a self-serve e-commerce storefront (grandandtoy.com) with account-based ordering and postal-code-based pricing for SMB and individual buyers, plus dedicated enterprise field sales teams and Standing Offer and Supply Arrangement (SOSA) federal government procurement contracts for larger customers. A Chamber of Commerce partnership program extends mid-market reach.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time product sales across the full catalog, recurring subscription services (water cooler rental, managed print, cartridge recycling, office supply subscriptions), and professional services (custom stamps, furniture planning, managed print). The company discloses a 99% customer retention rate and 1,001-5,000 employees, with no parent company, funding rounds, M&A activity, or management team disclosed in available data. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed.
