Award-winning North Shore appliance retailer Colony joins Coast Appliances family

Since 1969, Colony has been the go-to destination on the North Shore for top-quality appliance brands and customer service.

Since 1969, Colony has been the go-to destination on the North Shore for top-quality appliance brands and customer service.

When James (Jim) Patterson started Colony at its original location on Lonsdale Avenue, his philosophy was simple: provide service, selection, and value to his customers.

Colony later moved to its current location at 1075 Roosevelt Crescent in North Vancouver. Under a second generation of family ownership with the same commitment to Jim’s core values, Colony continued to grow and proudly serve satisfied repeat clients and new customers.

And now, there’s another good reason to shop for your next major appliance at Colony.

The award-winning North Vancouver retailer has joined the Coast Appliances family. This new partnership allows Colony to offer the same exceptional service, selection and value that has made it successful for 50 years while adding the presence and support of a National retailer.

As essential retailers, Colony and other Coast Appliances stores remain open during the COVID-19 pandemic to meet the critical needs of their customers and communities.

Coast Appliances has 17 locations across the country and has been supplying Canadians with the brands they want and the expertise they need since 1978.

“Families are being asked to stay home now to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, so home appliances are necessary for storing and cooking food and cleaning dishes and clothes,” says Coast Appliances CEO Gord Howie. “We continue to provide much-needed access to home appliances and repair services for our customers and communities during this stressful and uncertain period.”

Howie says Coast Appliances is thrilled to now have a presence on the North Shore and maintain the well-respected Colony name.

“Colony has been in this community for a long time, and it’s a brand North Shore residents have come to rely on and trust. We wanted to honour that longevity and stick with the Colony name. Colony has long been associated with quality service, excellent value, and great selection – all traits integral to the Coast Appliances brand.”

The spacious 6,700-square-foot Colony store and showroom in North Vancouver carries many of the well-known brand names that Coast has become famous for, including KitchenAid, Miele, Whirlpool, Samsung, Wolfe and Sub Zero. Colony also features other great designer brands like AGA, BlueStar, and La Cornue.

“At Colony, we have an excellent selection of some ultra-high-end brands that aren’t readily available at other appliance and box stores in the Lower Mainland,” adds Howie. “But aside from this, customers can expect to see the same excellent service they’ve become accustomed to at all Coast locations.”

Customers can also expect to see the largest selection of models on display on the North Shore, the largest number of kitchen vignettes on the North Shore (11) and the largest number of live demo models on display, so you can test-drive your appliance before you buy. Colony also offers local pickup services for customers.

Howie notes that the health and safety of staff and customers is the top priority for Coast Appliances as it adjusts to the current COVID-19 reality. Along with enhanced cleaning and sanitization at all locations, Coast is reducing store hours, limiting the number of in-store customers and following safe physical distancing guidelines between customers and employees, and offering contact-free delivery and pickup options. Customers can also shop online 24/7.
