About company

Aritzia Inc. is a Canadian fashion retailer known for its emphasis on "Everyday Luxury," a concept that originated from its first standalone boutique opened in 1984 in Vancouver, Canada, by Brian Hill. The company has since expanded significantly, both domestically and internationally, with over 100 stores across North America and a robust global eCommerce platform. Aritzia has developed and launched several exclusive in-house brands, including Babaton, Tna, Wilfred, and Sunday Best, each catering to different facets of women's apparel and lifestyle. In 2016, the company went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the ticker symbol ATZ, marking a new phase of growth and accessibility for investors. Further diversifying its offerings, Aritzia acquired the premium athletic wear brand Reigning Champ in 2021, venturing into men's clothing. Under the leadership of CEO Jennifer Wong, Aritzia continues to focus on providing high-quality, fashionable clothing options for its clientele, while also engaging in community support and philanthropy through its Aritzia Community™ initiative.
