Coghlan's

Coghlan's is a major Canadian producer of camping goods and accessories. Their products can be found in major outdoor retail outlets such as REI in the United States and Mountain Equipment Coop and Canadian Tire in Canada.

History

Coghlan's was founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1959 as Coghlan's Gas Appliances. Norm Coghlan also sold camping equipment in his store on the side. When campers began bringing their camp stoves and lanterns seeking parts and repairs, he gradually expanded his product line. Operations expanded to include distribution when Coghlan's began selling camp stove toasters. Since then it has grown to over 450 products and is the largest producer of camping accessories in Canada and the United States. As of 2010 it is still a family-owned company.
