Lovecraft has come a long way from its first small store that opened in Toronto in 1972. Throughout the years, Lovecraft has always tried to be a place where people can explore their sexuality in a fun and adventurous way.

Like many of the greatest discoveries, Lovecraft was born out of necessity and entrepreneurship. In 1971, two women found themselves in need of a way to support their families. Neither had formal business training, yet both were determined to start a business. While researching in England, one of the women discovered the phenomenon of European sex stores. Unlike the often dark, intimidating “head shops” that were scattered around the downtown core of Toronto, these European stores were clean, well lit, and had helpful, knowledgeable staff. Finding the concept intriguing, she returned to Canada and after searching for the right location, the two friends opened Lovecraft in Toronto. News coverage of this unique store spread fast across the country and a week after they opened, they were sold out to the bare walls. The original co-founders Anne and Mary have retired. Pamela, a long time employee is excited every day to be carrying on their legacy.
