In its humble beginnings, Thomas Bus Sales in Edmonton was originally operated as a company store until the mid-1970’s. Over the years, the business changed hands, names and locations, ending up in the Acheson business park, ultimately becoming The Bus Centre in 2007. In 2015, the new ownership team of Paul and Annette Gabbey purchased the business. Paul’s long history in bus contracting has given him valuable knowledge of the transportation industry as well as a thorough understanding of the customer experience.

Already offering a great product line of choice bus offerings in Thomas Built Buses, Diamond Coach, Collins and Malley, The Bus Centre has continued to grow since then. In 2019, The Bus Centre acquired Star Bus Sales and began to represent Starcraft across Canada. Starting small, The Bus Centre has grown to be the full sales, parts and service dealership it is today, servicing Alberta and Northern Canada with school buses and all of Canada with commercial offerings.
