The Back Shop opened it’s location at 78 Ottawa St. N in 1985. Diane, one of the owners, recalls being drawn to Ottawa St. due to the well-known name of Ottawa St. being a part of the up and coming neighbourhood of Crown Point and the high traffic exposure of the street. Getting into the business due to the rise in age of the baby boomers and seeing that a need for home healthcare would be increasing, the owners felt that it was a secure business to get into.
