Unique Store Design and Shopping Experience

Aritzia's retail spaces feature a mix of local influences, natural materials, custom furniture, and art.

Each store's architecture and interior design are uniquely crafted by a team of architects and interior designers to create a bespoke look.

Most dressing rooms intentionally do not have mirrors, encouraging shoppers to step into a communal space, although private options are available.

In June 2021, Aritzia acquired Reigning Champ, a menswear-focused Canadian athleisure and streetwear brand, for $63 million.

In May 2022, Jennifer Wong became CEO, replacing founder and executive chair Brian Hill.

Wong previously served as COO at Aritzia since 2007.
