OUR STORY

A classic children's department, rebuilt as a world.

Jason's Place turns the idea of a traditional family toy and book department into an interactive digital mansion of stories, games, characters, collectibles, discovery and family shopping.

FROM RETAIL TO ADVENTURE

A family retail idea enters a new era.

Jason's Place is Ackerman.ca's dedicated children's and family division. It carries forward the idea of a family retail destination while rebuilding the experience for an online generation: less flat catalogue, more exploration.

The mansion is the organizing idea. Books live in libraries. Games belong in play rooms. Science and robotics belong in laboratories. Characters guide children through rooms, hallways and secret doors.
