Style Alert, Toronto! Canadian Fashion Powerhouse Simons Lands at Yorkdale!

Get ready, Toronto fashion lovers! Mark your calendars because a major new player is about to enter the scene. Simons, Canada's beloved and oldest family-run retailer, is officially setting up shop at the iconic Yorkdale Shopping Centre on August 14th!

Yes, you read that right! The buzz is building, and for good reason. This isn't just another store opening; it's the arrival of a true Canadian fashion institution. Spanning a whopping 118,000 square feet across two stunning floors, this flagship location promises a curated experience unlike any other.

For those unfamiliar with Simons, prepare to be impressed. Founded all the way back in 1840 in Quebec City, Simons has evolved from a humble dry goods store into a modern fashion brand celebrated for its unique in-house labels like TWIK and CONTEMPORAINE. While other department stores might be facing headwinds, Simons is boldly investing in Canadian retail, injecting over $300 million since 2019. This new Yorkdale location, the 18th across Canada and the first of two planned for Toronto (with the Eaton Centre location coming next year), is a testament to their unwavering commitment.

What can you expect when those doors finally open? Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of curated fashion, art, and design. Simons is known for its keen eye, bringing together a diverse range of styles, including exclusive labels you won't find anywhere else. And in a fantastic nod to our vibrant local scene, the store will also showcase the talents of local artists.

The excitement is palpable! As the social media post aptly put it: "A fashion icon is coming to Yorkdale!" This massive new Toronto location is poised to become a go-to destination for anyone who appreciates quality, style, and a touch of Canadian flair.

So, the big question is: Will you be there for opening day? We certainly think you should be! Spread the word to your fellow fashion enthusiasts and anyone who loves a great Yorkdale opening. This is one you won't want to miss!
