STOKES is a private and family owned business founded in 1935. The company was named by its founder, Mr. Philip Shiveck, a watchmaker by trade; the chain's strategic growth has now surpassed 100 stores across Canada.

STOKES is named as a tribute to a town in Britain's honored pottery region, Stoke-On-Trent. The company has migrated from primarily jewelry, porcelain and fine china to a specialty chain dedicated to kitchen, dining, home décor and gift-giving.

Stokes has filled a need in the tabletop industry and provides innovative products at highly competitive prices, stylish and functional solutions for everyday living, entertaining and gift-giving at affordable prices.

Stokes concentrates on everyday solutions for style and functional products; a progressive attitude toward tableware, decor and kitchen, that offers a unique exclusivity. A private brand available only at Stokes across Canada.
