Edmonton, AB CA · www.thebrick.com
The Brick is a national furniture, mattress, and appliance retailer founded in Edmonton in 1971, now operating as The Brick Warehouse LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leon's Furniture Limited (TSX: LNF) since a 2013 acquisition. Leon's is controlled by the Canadian Leon family, and every Brick store, distribution centre, and the head office are in Canada. The furniture, appliance, and electronics brands it sells are overwhelmingly manufactured abroad, apart from a curated Made in Canada collection the site does not quantify against total inventory.
Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The Brick's own about page states Leon's Furniture Limited acquired The Brick in 2013, and Wikipedia corroborates the deal (announced November 2012 for CA$700 million) and describes Leon's as controlled by the Leon family with the remainder of shares publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: LNF). Corporations Canada's federal registry returns only earlier 'The Brick Warehouse Corporation' entities, all inactive (amalgamated or discontinued), consistent with the current operating company, The Brick Warehouse LP, being a provincial limited partnership outside that registry's scope; no federal or SEDAR filing was checked to confirm the Leon family's exact stake, so this is recorded as reported rather than verified.

Manufacturing
22.5 inferredCA 15% · EU 10% · other 50% · US 25%
The Brick does not manufacture its own products; it retails third-party furniture, mattress, appliance, and electronics brands. Its own site names mostly foreign brands (Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Bosch, Miele, Smeg, Cindy Crawford Home, Shaquille O'Neal Home) alongside a curated 'Made in Canada' furniture collection and a Canadian-made sofa collection, but no page states what share of total sales those Canadian-made lines represent, so this mix is an estimate weighted toward imported goods rather than a published split.

As a retailer rather than a manufacturer, The Brick's material inputs are the finished goods it stocks rather than raw materials it buys directly, so this factor mirrors the manufacturing mix: the same internationally dominated brand list applies, and no page breaks out sourcing for components or house-brand items separately from finished-goods manufacturing.
