Our Family Story

2nd Chances is more than just a store—it’s the story of a family in Listowel who have always believed in working together, supporting each other, and serving their community.

What started as a small idea of giving furniture and goods a “second chance” has grown into a group of businesses that provide comfort, quality, and everyday services to local families. From running the furniture and used goods store, to operating Carson Cleaners, Uncle Dad’s Pizza, a laundromat, and even moving services—every member of the family has put in their time and heart to make sure each service lives up to the same values: hard work, honesty, and care for people.

We’re proud to be known in town not just as business owners, but as neighbours and friends. Walk into any of our stores and you’ll likely see a family member at the counter, ready to help you find exactly what you need.
