La Maison Simons<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

La Maison Simons is\u00a0one of the most iconic retail stores in Canada.\u00a0Older than Canada itself, their story begins in 1840 when Mr. John Simons opened up a small shop in Quebec City where he sold dry goods and imported wares.\u00a0After more than 70 Atlantic crossings and over 170 years, the store has transformed its business to a high-end retailer and a staple not only in Quebec but across Canada.\u00a0With 14 locations, customers can choose from a hybrid of products ranging from apparel to home-goods, all engrained with modern twists of Quebec and Canadian identity.\u00a0From the very beginning, Simons emphasized quality merchandise and attentive service which paved the way for the Simons that we know and love today.<\/span><\/p>\n
