Redline Hobby has closed our storefront location effective May 31, 2022. Over the difficult and uncertain past two years many small businesses have been struggling to survive and it has caught up to us now where we simply cannot continue to operate with a storefront location.

Early on during the pandemic we saw a nice increase in business as people searched for meaningful and healthy things to do to pass time at home, to help ease their stress and anxiety over the situation that was impacted all of our lives. Older folks were looking to re-ignite, strengthen their existing passion or to introduce young ones to the timeless pastime of building scale models, the excitement of a model railroad set, the rush of firing off a model rocket or racing a remote control car.

As a family owned small business, for many years we have made numerous friendships and truly meaningful relationships with our loyal customers. People have often expressed their gratitude for having a local hobby shop not only to supply their hobby needs, but as a gathering place for many who loved to come to the shop simply for the interaction with myself or with Henry, the original owner of the store as well as with other fellow hobbyists. This is something I personally will miss the most. It has indeed been a pleasure and an honor have served you all and I thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.

Hobbies are good things! As we’ve always said, “everyone needs a hobby”. We will continue to place monthly orders with our suppliers, specifically P.M. Hansen (see link under Model Kits/Supplies section below) and will be transitioning this website to a full online site for our most popular hobby products. Please continue to check the website for updates and follow our Facebook and Instagram feeds for further announcements.

Hobby orders or any enquiries can be placed by emailing us at sales@redlinehobby.ca

Sincerely,
Wade Nyirfa
