The low-down on Midoco
Midoco has 3 locations in Toronto, with 2 in the East End, so it’s easy to stop by one of their shops. They’ve been in business since 1977! Let’s hope they have a big 50th anniversary celebration in 2 years!
It’s no wonder they’ve stuck around for so long, as they’re the perfect store to pick up a backpack and all the supplies you need to fill it for your little one (or not so little one) to be ready for school. They have a broad range of school supplies - pens, pencils, rulers, calculators, notebooks, binders, and tons of other odds and ends. They also stock an excellent assortment of art supplies. The store is so organized, so it’s easy to find things, and the staff is always happy to help you get just what you need!
They’re currently running some great sales on items that are in demand right now. Check out their discounts on back to school and other products scattered throughout the store.
If you can’t make it to the store, Midoco offers free delivery on orders over $150, and discounted delivery charges based on the order amount starting at $75 purchases. They use a Canadian delivery service, Trexity, so by getting delivery, you’ll be supporting another Canadian owned and operated business.
They are located at:
- Danforth & Broadview
- Queen East and Woodbine
- Bloor and Bathurst
