The Fireplace Stop North storefront in Seguin, Ontario

Our story

On the same highway since 1987. Owned and run by the Leonard family.

We sell what we believe in, we install what we sell, and we pick up the phone when our customers need us, in season or out.

Andy Leonard and the Leonard family · Seguin, Ontario

What started as a small hearth store on Highway 400 has grown into one of Ontario’s largest destination showrooms. In 2025 the Leonard family took the helm, led by Andy Leonard, committed to the same philosophy that built it: carry the brands that last, train on every product, stand behind the install, and treat every cottage like the one we would build for ourselves.

What we believe

The room that holds the family is worth doing right.

Family owned, family run. Two generations on the floor, across every department including installation. Wherever your project is, you are more than likely dealing with a member of the family.

We service what we sell. WETT-certified and factory-trained on every brand we carry. If we put it in, we will keep it running, and we will look after units we did not sell when the original installer is no longer around.

Local to the lakes. We know the back roads, the township codes and the chimneys on the cottages around here, because we have been working on them for decades.

The people

The same faces, from the first phone call to the final cleanup.

Tell us the room, the fuel you are leaning toward and roughly when you want it in. We will come back with a recommendation that fits, and we will say so if the honest answer is that you do not need what you came for.
