American discount heavyweight Marshalls opens its downtown store
Winners’ American sister store Marshalls finally opened its first downtown Toronto location yesterday (it was initally supposed to open late last year), transforming Circa’s former digs at John and Richmond into a 29,000-square-foot discount haven. Though Marshalls carries clothing, the store’s focus is on footwear (it carries over 8,000 pairs) and kidswear (it also contains a boutique dedicated to “the fashionable and discerning teen”). As off-price retailer, Marshalls’ lineup is constantly in flux, making pinning down what brands it carries an exercise in futility (the company’s website studiously avoids doing so), but it’s a safe bet there are some decent finds to be had–one shopper interviewed yesterday morning came across a Fendi purse and Roger Vivier shoes.
