John Varvatos is in the process of a significant store expansion. It had 13 free-standing stores at the beginning of 2013 and expects to have a total of 20 by the end of 2014. 


The Yorkdale Varvatos store is located in the new wing of the mall’s most recent expansion.

New tenants included Kate Spade, Ted Baker, Tesla Motors and Canada’s first Microsoft Store, among others.
