In May of 2012, VarageSale launched its first community, "West Island Community" In Montreal's West Island sector. The company has since moved its headquarters to Toronto, Ontario.[6][7]
VarageSale was named 2014 Startup of the Year in the Canadian Startup Awards.[8] In March 2015, it was included as part of Canadian Business's list of Canada's Most Innovative Companies.[9]
On November 7, 2017 VarageSale announced it was acquired by VerticalScope, another Toronto-based company that focuses on building online communities.[10][11]
