Our History

Paddy's Market is a family business established in 1955 by Norm and Marion McKeen  It was opened on Taunton Road East, in Hampton  where it remains today.  Their first inventory consisted of six wringer washers sold out of a box trailer.  For 55 years Paddy's Market has been selling to the people of Durham Region and surrounding areas.

Their son Jed started working at Paddy's as a teenager, and today, he and his wife Jody carry on the family tradition selling a wide selection of new appliance lines including  Amana, Danby, Frigidaire, Inglis, KitchenAid, LG, Maytag, Panasonic, Whirlpool and Wolf.

In May 1988 the store celebrated the grand opening of the building that now houses their appliance warehouse. 

Paddy's Market introduced their "Road Service" in 1995.  Providing excellent customer in-home service was such a success that Paddy's Market now boasts four experienced appliance technicians and four fully equipped service vans. Paddy's Market has hundreds of used parts from old machines that occupy the back lot behind the store.

In 2000, Paddy's Market expanded into the electronics market, giving their customers a wide variety of inventory to choose from including televisions, home theatre systems, digital photography and computers.  They have four delivery trucks running six days a week.

Over time, the Paddy's Market Service Department grew into such a successful entity that it required more space.  As a result, in April of 2010, Paddy's Market expanded to move the Service Department into its own area, attached to the retail store.
