According to this report in the Toronto Star, TopShop (above picture is of the Oxford Street flagship location in London) will be opening in Canada. The Bay has secured franchising rights to the brand name and there’ll be both standalone stores as well as locations within the Bay, with the first store opening this fall. Currently, TopShop products are being sold at Jonathan and Olivia on Ossington. Hmmmm…I wonder where the first Toronto store is going to be? Perhaps this is the “European brand” Flare’s Lisa Tant Tweeted about a few weeks ago? I guess we’ll find out soon enough… Currently, TopShop operates out of 37 countries, including one in Manhattan. In addition to Jonathan and Olivia, Canadian TopShop fans can currently purchase online.
