Founded in 1991 by husband and wife team Boyd and Loretta Aldridge, Always Christmas at Canterbury Village in Lake Orion, Michigan, started off as a small seasonal only Christmas store. The company expanded until they completely filled a 90,000 square foot building.
In late 2014, the company sold their large building to Woodside Bible Church, who had plans to turn it into an 800 seat church/auditorium. The Always Christmas store moved to a more modest 10,000 square foot building next door. The owners state that they intend to expand their company again, although no actual date was set. Expansion plans include a small wedding chapel, as well as expanding the store another 7,000 to 8,000 square feet.
Always Christmas is open all year and is an authorized seller of many collectible Christmas items including Hallmark and Department 56.
