About Us

Heirloom Linens is a real live "bricks and mortar" store, located in Broadmead Village Shopping Centre, in Victoria, BC. We have been in business since 1995 and conducting business via the internet for the past five years. Our website was launched, in lieu of opening a second location. A decision which allows us to keep in control of our operation while maintaining a high degree of customer service.

The store is owned and operated by Joan & Bob Ianson. Glenna (Store Manager) and our staff very much enjoy the linen business and this dedication and product knowledge is evident if you ever have the occasion to chat with them.

Joan had aspirations, when Heirloom Linens opened the doors back in 1995, to oversee the financial aspects of the store, but she too has been "bitten by the bug" and now lives, eats and breathes Heirloom Linens.

Bob began his career with Woodward's Department Stores in the early 70's and yes...joined the linen department as a stock boy. When he left Woodward's fifteen years later, he was the bedding buyer for several million dollars of product and store locations in BC and Alberta. A two year stint with Pacific Linen in Seattle only reinforced his desire to launch his own operation. This prompted a move to Victoria and the opening of Heirloom Linens. Now fourteen years later, as the saying goes... the rest is history.

2008 was renovation and expansion time for us. Our Broadmead Village store was completly renovated and we expanded the location by 50%. This was foillowed by the opening of our second location in the Millstream Village Shopping Centre in Langford.
