In 1948 Allan worked at the Eaton Company in Peterborough before moving to Simpsons Sears as the Appliance Manager for its grand opening on Thursday, August 26, 1954. He opened his own business in 1956 selling door to door. He later used some space at Comstock, Grant & Loucks Furniture before moving to Hunter & Queen Streets.
