Northern Electric bought into the development in November 1960. Sara Lee Kitchens opened Canadian operations in 1963, with Bramalea as its first location.

JDS Investments Ltd. and Bramalea Ltd. were the Canadian investors in Canada's Wonderland theme park, which opened in 1981; they owned 80% of the facility. Paramount Parks Inc bought out this stake in 1993, for $66 million.
