Wise Stores
Wise Stores was a department store chain located in Eastern Canada. It was founded in 1930 in Montreal by Alex Wise and constituted on March 31, 1949, as Wise Stores inc. By October 1988, the company had 28 stores and acquired 15 Continental outlets in eastern Quebec, New Brunswick and Ontario to bring to 43 the total number of Wise locations. In 1992, the company acquired the even longer running and competitor Peoples department stores from British retailer Marks & Spencer. Under the terms of the purchase, the Wise and Peoples chains could not completely merge until the outstanding balance owed to Marks & Spencer for the transaction had completely been paid in full. Because of this restriction, Peoples was instead operated as a subsidiary of Wise. Wise was basically a discount department retailer with store dimensions averaging those of Hart, Greenberg and Peoples; in contrast to the larger-sized Zellers, Woolco and Kmart. Wise launched in June 1993 the chain Wizmart, a who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
