Simons, Canada’s oldest family-owned retailer, is making a significant entry into Toronto’s competitive retail landscape with its new 118,000-square-foot flagship at Yorkdale Shopping Centre. Set to open on August 14, 2025, this venture marks the first of two planned Toronto locations and represents the brand’s 18th store nationwide. It also signals Simons’ strategic expansion into urban environments.

The two-level space will showcase Simons’ signature retail formula, which blends exclusive private labels, international designers, and local Canadian talent across fashion and home categories, all presented within an architecturally distinctive environment designed by Lemay-Michaud Architecture and Gensler. The store’s aesthetic reportedly draws inspiration from natural elements, continuing the family-owned retailer’s tradition of creating immersive shopping environments that integrate art and design with merchandise.
