In 1960, Allied Towers opened in Scarborough, Ontario. Eight years later, as a high school student, I joined Towers Department Stores as a part-time sales clerk. Twenty-two years after that, I left.

Recently, while searching the Internet, I was surprised and disappointed to see little mention of Towers. To be sure, there were many, many references to its demise. Other than that not much else.

This website will attempt, slowly and over time, to put a face to a company that, on balance, treated me well and that I fondly remember -- especially the people I worked with.

Stretching from Ontario to the east coast, Towers (Bonimart in Quebec) affected the working lives of many.
