✨Join us in congratulating Mike and Nickey Eden for being named the recipients of the 2026 Honorary Lifetime Membership award. We look forward to celebrating with you at our upcoming President’s Dinner and AGM on March 26 at Occasions by the Bay ✨

Mike and Nickey Eden are proud third-generation business owners carrying forward a family legacy that has shaped retail in Quinte West since 1957. Their story began with Mike’s grandparents, Terry and Marjorie Eden, who founded Van Luven Furniture. Over the decades, the business evolved into Eden’s Furniture and later became one of Canada’s first Leon’s Furniture franchises.

In 2006, Mike and Nickey began writing their own chapter with the launch of Custom Carts Golf Car and Trailer Supply. Since then, they have expanded their ventures to include Leon’s Trenton, The Battery Outlet, and The Factory Store, Canada’s first Husqvarna Outdoor Power Equipment dealership. These businesses together form the CC Group of Companies, a testament to their entrepreneurial vision and dedication.

Their impact extends far beyond business. In 2019, under Mike’s leadership, nearly 4,000 residents gathered at Centennial Park to form a Guinness World Record for the Largest Human Maple Leaf, supporting the Canadian Armed Forces charity Soldier On and showcasing the strength and spirit of the Quinte West community.

In 2022, they reimagined their business as Homestead Marketplace, a community hub where families can shop, dine, and connect. Through this vision, Mike and Nickey have created more than a shopping destination. They have built a welcoming space that strengthens our community every day.

Mike and Nickey Eden’s dedication to business excellence, innovation, and community-building makes them truly deserving of this recognition. Their legacy is one of leadership, generosity, and a bold commitment to Quinte West.
