Since Lordco’s inception in 1974, they have been dedicated to enhancing its presence throughout British Columbia, consistently striving for accessibility and service excellence in the automotive industry. A pivotal moment occurred in 1999 when Lordco expanded into northern regions of British Columbia with the opening of a new store in Prince George, BC. This strategic move not only solidified Lordco's market position but also effectively met the increasing demand for high-quality automotive parts and accessories in the province's remote areas.

During the same time frame, Lordco embarked on another expansion effort by launching its first store in Kamloops, BC, which has since grown into a network comprising four thriving locations. This strategic initiative was instrumental in creating a robust retail footprint that spans from the Cariboo region to the North Coast and extends into the Northeast of British Columbia. These additions highlight Lordco's commitment to serving smaller communities across the province, ensuring quality service and product availability for automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Throughout its journey, Lordco has remained dedicated to innovation and customer satisfaction, continually adapting to meet the evolving needs of the automotive market. This dedication has enabled Lordco to not only expand its geographical reach but also to deepen its connections within local communities, becoming a trusted partner for automotive solutions across British Columbia.
