origin story
born out of necessity
Canada (and more specifically, Toronto) was in desperate need of a modern day tactical equipment supplier. One that would feel like more of a an “EXPO” with great displays, vs the traditional “Army Surplus” look that existing stores had. A tactical store that offered a safe environment for emergency responders to come in, grab a free cup of coffee, use a clean restroom, take a lunch break or charge their cell phones, and shop for great products with a large selection of top brands. With this growing demand, 416 Tactical was born, and Canada’s only Black Rifle Coffee Lounge was created in-store for our customers.
