Fashion History
Herman and Sarah Reitman founded the company in 1926 as a single department store on Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montreal. It evolved into a specialized women's clothing chain, becoming a dominant fixture in Canadian retail history. The brand played a significant role in the expansion of mall-based fashion across Canada. Despite facing financial restructuring in 2020, it remains a long-standing example of family-founded retail endurance within the North American garment industry.
