John Stanton, John Stanton JR, and Jason Stanton
Since 2003, ABFI has honoured Canadian business families of distinction by hosting an intimate evening known as “Signature Event.” Past Signature families have included:
- The Brewster family
- The Fuller family of Earls, Joey’s Restaurant, and Saltlick Steakhouse
- The Asper family of CanWest Global Communications Corp.
- The Shaw family of Shaw Communications Inc.
- The Melton family of Melcor Development Limited
- The Richardson family of James Richardson & Sons Limited
This year ABFI is pleased to announce the Stanton family of The Running Room as their 2011 Signature Family.
Together the Stantons have created an incredible Alberta based business that doesn’t just sell shoes and equipment; they have created a culture that is committed to improving quality of life through active living. This entertaining evening will provide you with the unique opportunity to hear how John Stanton built a legacy by opening just a small one room store in the renovated living room of an old Edmonton house and called it the, “Running Room”. Today he is proud to be working with his sons John Jr. and Jason, who are both actively involved in the family business which has expanded to over 111 locations across Canada and the United States.
