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 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. Trek continues to be involved in retail; entertainment and publishing; and land development.

Gord and Maureen are passionate about the entrepreneurial way of life and for the past ten years, have given an annual 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.
