David Segal and his cousin Herschel Segal — who had already built Le Château into a mainstay of Canadian fashion retail — founded DAVIDsTEA in 2008, headquartering the company in Montreal while opening its first store on Queen Street in Toronto that same year; the first Montreal location followed in 2009.

David Segal and his cousin Herschel Segal — who had already built Le Château into a mainstay of Canadian fashion retail — founded DAVIDsTEA in 2008, headquartering the company in Montreal while opening its first store on Queen Street in Toronto that same year; the first Montreal location followed in 2009. The original concept centered on immersive, educational retail: in-store tastings, staff consultations, and more than 150 loose-leaf varieties, a format that helped the chain expand to 240 locations across Canada and the US within a decade.
The company underwent a major financial reorganization in 2020, permanently closing all 42 US stores and 166 of its Canadian locations, and has continued operating and rebuilding from its Montreal base since, now led by CEO Sarah Segal, Herschel's daughter.
Founded by the cousin of one of Canadian retail's best-known names and built around teaching customers loose-leaf tea rather than just selling bags of it, DAVIDsTEA remains a distinctly Montreal-rooted specialty chain even after its 2020 contraction.

Best for Avant-garde polo curation; Cutting-edge fashion retail
SSENSE describes itself as a technology platform linking culture and community with commerce. Headquartered in Montreal, it brings established and emerging luxury labels together across womenswear and menswear. Childrenswear and a category called Everything Else extend that range. The company was founded by brothers Rami, Firas and Bassel Atallah, who were born in Damascus and moved to Montreal with their family as teenagers. Rami began the business as a part-time exploration of early e-commerce. An experiment with fashion's secondary market led him to build the first SSENSE platform as part of his computer-engineering graduate thesis. Firas contributed a background in finance and economics, while Bassel was studying mechanical engineering. The brothers developed the business around a combination of online and physical retail. SSENSE now lists its headquarters on Chabanel Street and a fulfilment centre in Saint-Laurent. SSENSE Montréal operates at 418 St Sulpice. Its own account also places editorial work beside commerce, with coverage extending through fashion and music as well as art and design. Film, literature and popular culture complete the stated scope.
