Rudsak Continues Ambitious Canadian Store Expansion
/Montreal-based leather and fashion brand Rudsak continues to expand its Canadian operations by opening new stores. Over the weekend, Rudsak opened a store at Toronto Premium Outlets in Halton Hills, and this fall it will open a store in Montreal's affluent Westmount.
The new 2,000 square foot Toronto Premium Outlets Rudsak carries the brand's clothing, outerwear, footwear, bags and accessories, with an interior featuring the brand’s signature modern décor aesthetic. It follows the opening of a Rudsak location at Toronto's Scarborough Town Centre in August, as the brand continues to expand into the GTA.
The new Montreal Rudsak store, opening this fall, will be located at 4879 Sherbrooke Street West in the fashionable Westmount shopping area. The intimate 'niche boutique' will feature a premium selection of pieces from the brand's seasonal collection.
Sacha Singh of brokerage Oberfeld Snowcap handles Rudsak's Canadian real estate. According to Oberfeld Snowcap's website, Rudsak is seeking mall real estate in the 1,500 to 2,500 square foot range.
Rudsak operates over 30 Canadian store locations, with over half of those in the province of Quebec. The brand is expanding nationwide and now has two Vancouver stores and one in Calgary, with more expected to follow. Last year, the company said that it was looking to eventually operate in excess of 50 Canadian locations coast-to-coast. Founded in 1994, Rudsak specializes in outerwear, footwear, bags and accessories, with a focus on products made of leather.
