Built on Trust: The Story Behind Canada Gold

Canada Gold logo

Canada Gold is more than just a gold buyer – we are a family-owned and operated business with deep Canadian roots. Our story began when two sisters-in-law set out to sell their old gold jewellery, only to find that their options were limited to pawn shops and untrustworthy gold buyers who seemed eager to take advantage of them. Frustrated by the lack of honest, transparent and welcoming options, they shared their experience with family.

Hearing their story, their sons – brothers Chris and Charlie along with their cousin Russell – knew they could do better. With entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to fairness, they set out to create a gold-buying business that their own mothers would trust. They envisioned a neighbourhood gold store that was friendly, transparent and professional – offering fair prices, honest service and a safe, welcoming environment for everyone.

Twenty years later, Canada Gold is all that and a lot more. We now have 16 stores across five provinces and two states and customers who come back to us time and again.

A Business Built on Trust

As the country’s largest network of neighbourhood gold buyers and precious metal dealers, we take pride in offering the best value to our customers. We are also a proud distributor of Canadian Mint products, with a focus on Canadian-produced bullion and coins. Our commitment to ethical business practices, fair pricing and exceptional customer services has earned us a strong reputation, with one of the highest repeat and referral rates in the industry.

Our Business Model

Our approach is simple: offer the best value on gold, silver and platinum in a clean, safe and friendly environment. We want to be your trusted precious metals dealer which is why we work tirelessly to keep our prices highly competitive. Whether you’re buying or selling, you’ll never experience any pressure, just straightforward, no-obligation pricing and free appraisals from our knowledgeable staff.

The price of gold and silver fluctuates, but we like to say that there is never a bad time to invest in precious metals. Over the past two decades, gold prices have risen significantly. While no investment is without risk, gold and silver tend to offer greater stability and long-term appreciation than many other assets. Unlike stocks, the metals you buy from us are tangible – you hold them in your hands, giving you security whether the markets are open or closed.
