Your Outdoor Equipment is Our Commitment

At Arns Equipment Ltd., we are committed to providing the latest in outdoor power equipment parts and products at competitive prices and with exceptional service. It is a big promise, we know, but we are confident we can deliver a truly great customer experience. After all, we have had more than 70 years and four generations to get it right.

We’re Older Than Dirt

It may be considered impolite to talk about age, but we are proud to say we have been a family-run, Calgary-based business since 1946. Our story begins with Great-uncle Arn Cummins. While serving with the Air Force during WWII, Arn began planning for his family’s future. In 1943, he purchased a plot of land for $450 in northwest Calgary. When he was discharged in April 1946, he set to work building the business that would support generations to come.

On September 4, The Bike Shop opened its doors.

We’re Not Your Typical Box Store 

As a member of the local community for 70 years, we feel personally invested in your success. Over the decades, we have seen trends come and go, and we have learned which brands stand the test of time. Our expertly trained staff are always happy to share this experience with you, helping you make confident and informed decisions about your outdoor equipment.

We also understand the importance of building strong, lasting relationships. Outdoor equipment is a significant investment, whether you are a professional landscaper or a dedicated homeowner. That is why we have been authorized dealers for trusted brands such as Gravely and Stihl since 1962 and 1980. This allows us to receive training directly from the manufacturer and provide you with the highest quality products.

We are grateful for the long-standing partnerships we have built with our customers, suppliers, and staff.

Our Mission


When you are buying a specialized piece of equipment, it can feel unfamiliar. It's easy to choose the wrong features or end up with something that is difficult to maintain or repair. At Arns, we aim to remove that uncertainty by servicing and carrying all parts for the brands we represent, promising a quick turnaround on repairs, and providing demos, training, and maintenance guidance for all our equipment. We are here to be your long-term partner in landscaping success.

We couldn’t do what we do without our dedicated customer, service, repair, and admin teams.
