About Trek 2000 Corporation

Trek 2000 Corporation is a family business that was formed in 1986 when Gord and Maureen Haddock brought The Body Shop franchise to Saskatchewan. Prior to this, Gord and Maureen had owned several businesses, both franchise and independent. They gained experience with music supply stores, entertainment booking agencies, drug stores, stereo shops, land development, and food services.

The Body Shop experience was unique in that entrepreneurial thinking was encouraged within the franchise limits and for twenty years Trek 2000 Corporation pioneered ideas here in Saskatchewan. The Body Shop at Home was developed and tested first in Saskatchewan. We developed and tested products such as the popular Saskatoon Berry Pie range. During some of this time Trek owned the Saskatoon franchise for Roots Canada and partnered in a souvenir company. They became partners in the development of The Belly Button Buddies and brought the lululemon franchise to Saskatoon. They developed an entertainment division which includes publishing, recording, and production.

In April of 2006 Trek sold the four Saskatchewan TBS stores. In the summer of 2010 Trek sold their lululemon store back to corporate lululemon. Maureen and Gordon’s daughter Michelle and her husband Brett Pawson were franchisees in the Saskatchewan lululemon and look forward to an exciting and independent future.
Gord and Maureen continue to be involved in entertainment and publishing, and the development of land and buildings.

Gord and Maureen are passionate about the entrepreneurial way of life and for the past ten years, have given a scholarship to an entrepreneurial student in the College of Commerce. They are delighted with the renaming of the college to The Murray Edwards School of Business. Gord and Maureen also sponsor a speaker series which enables the college to bring successful entrepreneurs to Saskatchewan annually to address students and the public.

The first Maureen and Gordon Haddock Scholarship in Education, was given in 2009/2010 to an Education student with a passion for writing and an interest in motivating children to write. Maureen is a graduate of the College of Education, a published author, and enjoys the communications, training, and publicity duties in their company. She looks forward to presenting this scholarship each year.
