It all began in 1976 when Antonio and Maria Sciacca decided to open up a building supply yard to better support their family. This location was centrally located on Wade Avenue, in the heart of Toronto. Despite the hardship of being new immigrants with three young children, they persevered. Becoming an integral part of the community led to the expansion of their sales to include the sale of ready mix concrete. At this time, most of their employees consisted of the immediate family. Their eldest son at the time, ten year old Jimmy, ran the loader while Maria answered phones and Antonio (aka “Tony”) did sales, ran deliveries and filled orders. Despite neither of them having any family support in Canada, Maria and Antonio built their own unique family by establishing solid relationships with their customers. These relationships developed into long lasting friendships that continue to be treasured to this day.
