White House | Black Market opened its first Canadian store yesterday at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre, and it threw a grand opening party the evening of Wednesday, October 23rd. Calgary-based blogger Ryan, aka Mr. Fab, provided us with the photos in this brief article, all from the store’s grand opening.


Ryan did some investigating and found that White House | Black Market alleges that it has no plans to open elsewhere in Canada, besides the three Toronto-area stores that we previously announced. We doubt this is true, as a national roll-out of the chain only makes sense given its popularity as well as its already costly efforts to open in Canada.




Canada’s second White House | Black Market opens October in Mississauga’s Square One Shopping Centre, and the third location opens November 12th at the Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket, Ontario.


We’ll update you when we learn of more possible White House | Black Market store locations.


Thank you to Ryan, aka Mr. Fab, for this article’s photos and investigation. You can find his blog here and also follow him on Twitter.
