About Us

The Hobby Centre first opened in May 1986. It has relocated 6 times and is currently in its biggest and -- in our humble opinion -- best location to date. There is lots of major road access, great parking, ample space to display our large selection of products, and room to hold meetings, classes and special events.

We are a full-time hobby store, and we specialize in having a small quantity of a LOT of different items. Our specialty is scale models but we also carry many other lines. We didn't originally carry Radio Control products, but since the closure of Fred Z's Dynamic Hobbies we have started to expand in that area, too. We have sold comic books as long as we have been open, but -- due to declining sales and interest in the genre here -- we offer a subscription service. We do NOT buy or deal in comic book back issues to any extent. Model Trains, aimed at the beginner in HO and N scales, Model Rockets, and Diecasts are a few of the other lines we stock.

This site will grow and improve over time. Please email us at hobcen@rogers.com and tell us what you like, dislike or would like to see on this site. Together we'll create the same hobby community that we enjoy in our store!
