John and Patricia Ritchie started the company in 1966. That same year his son Daryl and his wife Carol moved from Montreal and went into business with John in a small garage on Smythe Street.

Over the next two years the business grew and was relocated to Rothesay Avenue in a warehouse across from Randy’s Restaurant, which is now, present day Dobson John who was known for always finding factory clear-outs and salvage goods, stocked the warehouse with tires, shoes, canned goods, furniture and whatever else he could buy at a deal. He also expanded his line of building supplies and after 3 years introduced carpet into In 1971, they built a new store at 715 Rothesay Avenue and still presently reside there. However on December 21, 1978, the warehouse caught fire and burned to the ground. With the help and dedication of his loyal employees within six months they had a new warehouse built and stocked it with the same quality lumber and building supplies as their competitors. The next few decades brought dramatic change. In 1981 Kevin Ritchie, Daryl’s son, graduated from the University of New Brunswick and decided he would like to open his own flooring business in Fredricton. He began small and rented a warehouse at Beaverbrook Court. A few years later, he moved to a larger warehouse on the Hanwell road, and expanded into the window and door business. That same year, Ritchie’s expanded into Moncton in the floor covering business, however under the recent ownership of Trevor and Adam Ritchie, John’s great grandchildren, they have expanded the business into specialization in Kitchens, as well as Bath fixtures and
