Adopt kicks off Canadian expansion with three debut stores in Quebec

Adopt, the vibrant retail concept from France that focuses on fine fragrances and related accessories for the masses, is getting ready to make its debut in Canada with three exciting locations. We are thrilled to share that the Adopt team has just completed agreements to open in the Province of Quebec at Carrefour Laval, Galeries d’Anjou and Place Ste-Foy. The stores—616 sq. ft., 629 sq. ft. and 536 sq. ft.—are to open in September.
This, however, is just the beginning. Thereafter, Adopt aims to open at least five additional Quebec locations in 2025, followed by expansion into Ontario in 2025/2026.
It’s an exciting time for this global brand. 
Founded in France in 1986 by perfumer Dominique Monlun, the Adopt is about choice, accessibility and reinvention. With fun and chic stores in more than 40 countries, Adopt is fresh and engaging—much like its target audience. 
The Adopt range features more than 100 original, joyful, feminine, masculine or mixed eaux de parfums, all made in a beautiful historical production site in Cestas, near Bordeaux. 
Rather than embracing a single signature scent, the Adopt ethos is to have multiple fragrances for all of life’s moods and moments, from every day to formal and seasonal.
Adopt stores also feature complimentary items, such as sprays, body creams, candles and essential oils infused with its array of scents, so that customers can immerse themselves in their favourite fragrances. In addition, Adopt offers a range of skincare products for the face, from serums and moisturizers to lip balms and cleansers. 
The stores are beautifully designed, with a modern vibe, and the branding is electric, with packaging that appeals to all generations: The average customer is aged 34, with 37% ages 18 to 25, 42% ages 26 to 45 and 21% over 45 years. The brand offers something for all tastes and lifestyles.
In addition, products put people and planet first, with a multi-pillar commitment to sustainability practices throughout the value chain, natural ingredients, organic ranges and eco-friendly packaging.
A regular on the pages of fashion and beauty magazines, as well as the feeds of social media influencers, Adopt is proven concept with a strong global footprint and following.

Ideal spaces are 500 to 800 sq. ft. in enclosed malls and along busy high streets. This is a wonderful international brand and the perfect tenant, appealing to a wide and tasteful demographic. For more information, contact the Think Retail team
