Our Bright Future: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
As we reflect on 70 remarkable years, Harry Rosen's journey from a single Toronto store to a national menswear icon is a testament to Harry’s vision.
It was a simple idea: what if you combined Harry’s insatiable passion for quality men’s fashion with an uncompromised focus on personalized service? This vision has guided us to become the leading menswear specialist across Canada, now with 19 locations across the country and a digital store always open for business.
Within our Leadership Team, we use the saying “If you dislike change, then you’re going to dislike irrelevance even more,” which serves as a constant reminder to adapt and embrace changing times, be it how men dress or how they shop.
The opportunities ahead of us have never been more exciting. We stand at the cusp of a new era, where tradition meets innovation, and our rich heritage provides a strong foundation for future growth. While our commitment to quality and personalized service remains at the heart of everything we do, there are key areas where we will be pushing to serve you better in the years and decades ahead.

Fashion is about more than just clothes – it's about personal expression. In menswear, there are certain rules that aren’t meant to be broken and others that we know our clients can have fun breaking. Fashion trends change, but timeless staples like a crisp white dress shirt or T-shirt and a brown oxford lace-up will continue to be the foundations of a man’s wardrobe.
Every season our Merchant Team travels everywhere from Italy to Paris searching for new ideas to add a fresh pop or conversation piece to a wardrobe. We’re committed to continuing to evolve our offerings to cater to a wide range of styles and preferences. From tailored suits to casual wear, our selection aims to meet our customers' needs for every occasion.
We’ve expanded into new categories like designer, home, and lifestyle reflecting the diverse tastes of modern men. Whether you’re suiting up for a big meeting or dressing down for a weekend getaway, Harry Rosen will ensure you’re well-dressed doing it.
In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is key. That’s why we provide a connected experience across our physical and digital stores. Online is where nearly 80% of shopping journeys begin today. We’re committed to making sure our clients never feel burdened by where they make a purchase.
Our Style Advisors continue to be the gold standard in product knowledge, wardrobe advice, and fitting. With the significant investments we’ve made in Store Technology, they can now be experts in helping their clients shop seamlessly online – if you haven’t had your advisor build you a personal page for shopping online, just ask!
Over the next five years, we’re investing $50 million to update our retail spaces. Our newest design concept opened this past June at West Edmonton Mall. Stay tuned as more stores are designed to inspire and engage, blending the art of tailoring with contemporary fashion and world-leading luxury brands.
This transformation continues with the opening of our 16,000 sq. ft. location at Vancouver's Oakridge Park in mid 2025, and the relocation of our renowned Bloor flagship to a new three-story home in Yorkville Village in 2026. We can’t wait to show you the future of Harry Rosen.
Oh Canada, we stand on Guard for thee! As so many retailers and brands are focused on expanding around the world, we are committed to continuing to focus on the unique needs of Canadian men. We understand the focus required to personalize our assortment to each market we operate in.
From the rainy season in Vancouver to the depths of winter in the Prairies, we work hard to outfit Canadians against everything this country sends our way. We’re proud of our roots and are forever grateful to the cities and communities that have taken us from humble beginnings in Toronto’s Cabbagetown to our current status as a national retailer.
We’ve always been professionally managed as a company, but ultimately, family values permeate through everything we do. As we’ve now entrusted three generations of the Rosen family with the responsibility of carrying on Harry’s vision, our customers can count on Harry Rosen being much more than a faceless corporation. We see every client and member of our team as part of the extended Harry Rosen family.
The future is bright for Harry Rosen, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you. Thank you for your unwavering support. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate our 70th anniversary and look forward to an exciting future together. Together, we will continue to define menswear, one stylish step at a time.
