Rich in History and Charm
1934
Capital Iron is so named for its start as a scrap business. The company was founded in 1934 by Morris L. Greene. He had a considerable knowledge of ships which, combined with the company’s waterfront location, enabled him to build up his business by dismantling ships for scrap. Between 1934 and 1971 the company dismantled nearly 100 ships of various sizes.
Today, Capital Iron has evolved into a true general store for the modern consumer. If you’re looking for outdoor stores in Victoria BC, we have 2 locations in Victoria and the West Shore to serve you. We think you’ll agree that our company still maintains its unique charm. Capital Iron offers one of the largest selections of housewares, camping, fishing, marine, hardware, garden, barbecues, hot tubs, patio furniture, home décor, fireplaces and Christmas products anywhere on Vancouver Island.
