Canada’s oldest private, family-owned retailer, reports that its new store in at CF Pacific Centre in Vancouver is planned for Fall 2027 opening. The new CF Pacific Centre store will span approximately 92,000 square feet across three floors, representing a significant investment in downtown Vancouver. The opening will mark Simons’ 20th store nationwide and its second in British Columbia. Representing an investment of more than $55 million, the new store will complement Simons’ existing Park Royal location and enhance access for customers across the region, creating more opportunities to discover the uniquely Canadian Simons experience. Designed by McKinley Studios, with architecture by LemayMichaud, the space will reflect Simons’ distinctive approach to retail, blending fashion, art, and architecture to create an immersive and thoughtfully crafted environment. “Vancouver is one of Canada’s most dynamic and inspiring retail markets, and we’re pleased to expand our presence here,” said Bernard Leblanc, President and CEO of Simons. “Our growth is guided by our customers and a desire to create spaces that reflect the communities we serve. The strong response in Western Canada has reinforced our commitment to the region, and we look forward to bringing a distinctive Simons experience to the downtown core – one that blends fashion, art and design while building meaningful connections with Vancouver’s diverse communities.” Originally a dry goods store, Simons was founded in Quebec City in 1840 by John Simons and today that family company has become known for accessible and inspired fashion. Each Simons store is uniquely conceived, with a creative, people-first approach that shapes environments thoughtfully integrated into local communities, extending beyond the traditional shopping experience. Over the past seven years, Simons has invested more than $350 million in the Canadian retail landscape, with recent openings in Toronto at Yorkdale Shopping Centre and CF Toronto Eaton Centre, along with the development of a state-of-the-art automated fulfillment centre, and continued enhancements to its digital and in-store experience.
