The story

Coghlan's was founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1959 as Coghlan's Gas Appliances. The firm's first product was the Camp Stove Toaster.

Once, Norm Coghlan (1927-2013) also sold camping equipment in his store on the side. When campers began bringing their camp stoves and lanterns seeking parts and repairs, he gradually expanded his product line. Operations expanded to include distribution when Coghlan's began selling camp stove toasters. Since then, it has grown to over 450 products and is the largest producer of camping accessories in Canada and the United States. It is still a family-owned company.

In 2015, Coghlan's acquired Bellingham, Washington based company McNett, which sells products for repairing and maintaining outdoor equipment. The products are sold under the name GearAid.
