About TJ’s The Kiddie Store
Growing With Canadian Families Since 1978
Welcome to TJ’s The Kiddie Store, a proud Canadian brand dedicated to families for over four decades. What began in 1978 as a small service shop in Surrey, British Columbia, has grown into one of Canada’s most trusted destinations for parents seeking quality, comfort, and care.
Today, we offer over 400 maternity and baby brands and more than 10,000 products, serving families from pregnancy to preschool — all with the same heart and commitment that started it all.
Our Story
