A Brief History
Cichlid Wholesale Ltd. Began on Vancouver Island, BC, in
1990, as a full line pet product distributor servicing Western Canada. As a
result of steady growth, in 1992 the company moved to larger facilities in
Nanaimo, BC. In 1995, anticipating a test for echo, the company realised it
could provide faster, more effective service by positioning itself in a
centralized location with Western Canada, and as a result moved to Calgary, AB.
In 2001 Cichlid expanded again and moved to a new warehouse facility with four
times the space, this was followed in 2006 with another expansion of warehouse
space to the current location.
These expansions have allowed Cichlid to become a more
service friendly operation. The company now offers retail customers the ability
to visit, by appointment, during operation hours. In addition, it provides the
space to present “Open House Trade Shows”, and to house a Show Room for promoting
and highlighting products lines in a setting that best suits customer needs.
