They are just another retail business, nothing special. You can find the same products (mats) in Canada, LockTile is not so readily available though it can be found.
CapnCrunch... what was the problem with garage strategies? I actually stopped in there today for the first time and had a look around. I don't want to deal with a company that won't stand behind themselves.
I found that they were very pushy, and were quick to discredit other products that were out there. I have been in sales for most of my career and I have never believed that bad mouthing a competeing product is the way to do business. They do have a good range of trinkets but so does Canadian Tire. In the end I was looking for more specialized products/information than they were able to offer.
