Sales

"With over 30 years of experience in the trading card industry, I bring deep expertise across wholesale distribution, sales, and product sourcing. I began my career in 1993 as the owner of a distribution company, where I developed a strong foundation in buying, logistics, and customer relationships. Since joining Grosnor Distribution in 2007, I’ve focused on helping clients secure the products they need in a competitive and constantly evolving market. I also specialize in sourcing hard-to-find trading card products through secondary channels, ensuring our customers have access to inventory others can’t provide. I take pride in delivering reliable service, industry insight, and solutions that help my clients succeed."

"With my many years of experience in the Trading Card industry, I work with my customers to get them the products they need to run their stores."

"With a lifelong passion for trading card games, collectibles, and all things pop culture, stepping into the toy and card distribution industry felt like a natural fit. I bring a strong background in sales and customer service, paired with a genuine enthusiasm for the products our clients love. Joining Grosnor has given me the opportunity to connect with hobby stores, retailers, and communities who share the same excitement for this ever-evolving industry. My goal is to provide reliable, responsive service and ensure our partners have the products they need to grow and thrive. I'm excited to be part of a team that not only values the culture behind the collectibles, but also plays an active role in shaping it."

"I’ve been with Grosnor Distribution Inc. for over 30 years, growing alongside the company as it evolved into a full-service distributor. What started with sports card supplies has expanded to include sports and non-sports trading cards, gaming products, memorabilia, licensed merchandise, action figures, and a wide selection of board games. Throughout my time here, I’ve gained invaluable experience- primarily focused on strong , customer- centered relationships. I take pride in understanding and meeting my customers’ needs, and when a solution isn’t immediately available, I work closely with them to find one."

"I've been a part of the Trading Card Industry now for many years. I started out in Grosnor's satellite location out of Burlington, but felt there were bigger & better things available to me working out of the head office in Etobicoke. I decided to make the move in the fall of 98, and I have to say'it was definitely the right choice. I have watched Grosnor Distribution Inc. grow at an unprecedented rate over the past few years. From the vast array of product that are now available to our customers, to the innovative & industry leading website. While working at Grosnor Distribution Inc, I've also completed my business degree from McMaster University with the hopes that this will open new opportunities within the Grosnor management ranks. Our main objective is to strive to maintain our status as the country's leading "One Stop Shop" in the Trading Card & Collectibles Industry. My personal objective is to continue to fulfill most, if not all our customer's needs. Here at Grosnor, the staff provide all our clients with an opportunity to succeed. I welcome any questions or suggestions you might have."

"I started out collecting and playing Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh as a child. This began as a hobby all the way back in 2000 and then became a passion. In the span of 26 years even though I have stopped playing these games, I haven't stopped collecting. My love and knowledge for the industry is strong, and I still keep up to date with every TCG product as well as sports. For me customer service is very important as I know how it is to be on the other side as both a customer and employee at a Hobby Store."

"I helped start and spent years working in my family’s hobby card business, so the industry has always felt like home. Before joining Grosnor as an Account Manager, I built my sales and account management toolkit in finance and tech, serving fast-moving clients with complex needs. Now I bring that commercial discipline to sports and TCG. I closely track release and market trends and focus on responsive service, clear communication, and long-term partnerships that help retailers grow."

"I had been in the trading card business for many years managing a hobby store. I then decided it was time to take the next step in the industry. Since I started at Grosnor in 2020, I have used my vast knowledge of product and experience to help my customers get the product they need for their stores and understand what they are purchasing.

"I found my way to Grosnor at the start of 2020, eager to take on what this industry has to offer. Spent my youth collecting Hockey, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards and these hobbies have followed me throughout my life. I would frequent many local hobby stores, playing tournaments and being a part of the community, which eventually led to me working part time at a Hobby store. I bring my knowledge as both a consumer and retail worker to Grosnor, and look to help grow this community I love."

Kohulan Thayaal Kohulan Thayaal Account Manager [email protected] 416.744.3344 ext. 254 - 1-800-268-9066

"I began my time at Grosnor in the shipping department, at its old location (Etobicoke) as a seasonal employee. From there, I joined Grosnor's move to Brampton, still in shipping, but was shifted toward sales in 2012. Being in the warehouse and examining the multitude of products in stock has helped me transition from one job to the next. On a personal note, I am a Hospitality Management & Finance graduate of Durham College. I was born and raised in Montreal, but have resided in Ontario since 2004. I have been collecting since I was very little, from toys, to cards and now to signed memorabilia. Notez que je suis l'un des vendeurs bilingues, mon objectif est également de servir le marché francophone de la province de Québec et de répondre à ses besoins."

"Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been immersed in the worlds of sports and trading cards. Whether it was watching the Leafs every night with my brothers or playing Yu-Gi-Oh! together, my passion for the hobby started as a way to spend time with family — and it quickly grew into a lifelong love. Competing and collecting eventually led me to a career in sales and distribution, where I’ve been able to turn that passion into a profession. I’m extremely excited to bring my knowledge and enthusiasm for sports and trading card games to help my clients grow within the hobby and collectible space. I’m proud to be part of the Grosnor team, where I can continue working in a community I truly love and am extremely passionate about.
