After nearly five decades as one of Ontario’s most respected names in outdoor furnishings, General Products Outdoor Patio Furniture (GP Patio) is winding down operations with a significant public liquidation sale. The Richmond Hill-based retailer, located at 160 East Beaver Creek Road, is closing its doors following the retirement of the founding Brown family, who have led the business since its establishment in 1979.
Founded by Sydney Brown, General Products became a trusted resource for high-quality, stylish, and durable outdoor furniture—serving both residential customers and commercial clients. The company earned a reputation for excellence, furnishing patios for high-profile clients including Prime Ministers, Premiers, celebrities, and major hospitality operators. Their clientele also included families across Ontario, many of whom have remained loyal for generations.
“It was incredibly special and fortunate to work alongside my father until his passing in 2017,” said Stuart Brown, the second-generation owner of the business. “Three generations of Browns have proudly contributed to this business, and it’s been an honour to serve Canadians.”
The family-run business became synonymous with customer service and quality, offering premium patio furniture collections sourced directly from top manufacturers. The retailer was featured nationally, with appearances on HGTV and Mike Holmes’ Ultimate Deck, reinforcing its reputation for expertise and thoughtful design.
Store Closing Sale Begins March 29
To mark the conclusion of nearly half a century in business, GP Patio is hosting a store-wide closing liquidation sale, offering significant discounts on its complete inventory. The sale—managed by Danbury Global—officially begins on Thursday, March 29, and is open to the public.
Shoppers will find steep markdowns on the retailer’s full selection of high-end outdoor furniture, including patio loungers ideal for summer relaxation, elegant dining sets built to withstand Canadian weather, and stylish umbrellas that combine function with aesthetic appeal. The sale also features fire tables designed to extend outdoor enjoyment into cooler evenings, as well as an array of carefully curated outdoor accessories and décor items.
The entire inventory of premium outdoor products is being sold at reduced prices as part of the closure. According to the company, delivery will continue to be available across the Greater Toronto Area and into cottage country, ensuring convenience for long-time and new customers alike.
“For over 47 years, we’ve had the privilege of serving a loyal customer base that spans generations,” said Stuart and Wendy Brown in a joint statement. “As we retire, we invite the public to celebrate with us during this once-in-a-lifetime sale.”
Danbury Global Manages High-Profile Liquidation
To oversee the sale, GP Patio has engaged Danbury Global, a leading Canadian asset disposition and retail liquidation firm. The company is known for managing major transitions for well-known retail brands and has brought its experience to the Richmond Hill showroom to ensure a smooth and successful wind-down.
“This is truly a rare opportunity,” said Jonathan Ordon, CEO of Danbury Global. “You don’t often see premium, brand-name outdoor living furniture being liquidated to the public—especially at the start of patio season. This sale is an unmatched chance to furnish your outdoor space with quality pieces at a fraction of the cost.”
Danbury Global’s store closing liquidation sale kicks off Thursday, March 29, from the 160 East Beaver Creek Road showroom, and will run seven days a week until all inventory is sold.
