History
In 1984, the Levy brothers opened "Mastermind: The Educational Computer Store" as a 300-square-foot shop in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that sold educational software for home computers. The following year, a second shop called "Mastermind Educational" was opened with an expanded selection of toys, books and games.
Mastermind Educational began offering complimentary in-store gift wrapping with a custom wrap designed in-house. Proving successful, the chain began to expand.[4]
