For generations of Torontonians, Macklem’s Baby Store has been more than just a retailer – it’s been a trusted companion on the parenting journey. Since opening its doors in 1945, this beloved family-owned establishment at 2223 Dundas Street West has become woven into the fabric of the city, helping new parents prepare for their most important role with confidence and care.
A Toronto Tradition Built on Trust
What began as a neighborhood baby shop has grown into one of Canada’s most respected destinations for parents-to-be, all while maintaining its warm, personal approach. Macklem’s has stood the test of time by:
