Hon. Luke Randall

Luke Randall was elected as the MLA for Fredericton North in 2024 and was sworn in as Minister responsible for Opportunities NB, Economic Development and Small Business, NB Liquor and Cannabis NB on November 2.

A lifelong resident of Fredericton's Northside, Mr. Randall has spent his career building and supporting local businesses. At just 18, he opened Endeavours The Artist Shop in downtown Fredericton and later launched ThinkPlay, specializing in board games and specialty toys. In 2008, the two businesses merged under the name Endeavours & ThinkPlay, which continues to thrive today under the leadership of his husband, Tyler.

Beyond his own business, Mr. Randall has been an active advocate for local entrepreneurs. He has mentored new business owners both formally through Futurpreneur Canada and informally, helping them navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship. He has also served on the executive for Downtown Fredericton and played a key role in iAMart, North America’s largest buying group for art material stores, where he contributed as both a committee and executive member, supporting independent retailers across the continent. In addition, he has served on several arts boards, working to strengthen the cultural and creative communities that play a vital role in local economies. 

His firsthand experience navigating the challenges of business ownership—from international logistics to financial planning—gives him a unique perspective on economic development. He understands what it takes to build something from the ground up and is committed to ensuring that New Brunswick’s entrepreneurs, creators, and small business owners have the tools they need to succeed. 

Mr. Randall remains deeply connected to his community, working to foster strong local economies, champion local businesses, and create opportunities that help New Brunswick grow.
