Canada could soon see its first freestanding Superdry stores. Aurora Realty Consultants is working with Superdry’s Canadian distributor to secure store locations for the popular U.K. brand in Canada. 

Superdry was founded in Cheltenham, U.K. in 1985, and its first store opened in London’s Covent Garden in 2004. The brand, known for its vintage Americana styling, Japanese graphics and British tailoring, sells men’s and women’s fashions as well as accessories. Superdry has grown to become a fashion powerhouse, with annual revenues in excess of $900 million Canadian dollars and hundreds of stores worldwide. Superdry operates freestanding full-price and outlet store locations in the United states, and is available in Canada at retailers such as Hudson’s Bay.

Distributor Manhattan International has the rights to wholesale Superdry in Canada, and it also has rights to Superdry’s Canadian retail operations. The company is working with Aurora Realty Consultants to find retail space for Superdry’s Canadian stores, which will ideally be in the 2,500 to 3,000 square foot range in enclosed malls as well as streetfront locations. Jeffrey Berkowitz [V-Card] is the contact at Aurora Realty Consultants for Superdry in Canada.
