Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood continues to welcome more coveted retail stores, this time with a new TNT (A.K.A. The New Trend) flagship location coming in the near future—Retail Insider reports.
TNT is a boutique-style department store carrying about 250 brands of varying price points and styles for women, men, and children – including designer!
“Early next year, we’re opening our new concept flagship store in Yorkville Village which will be approximately 20,000 square feet. It will feature both menswear and womenswear in the same space, which will be a first for TNT. Additionally, it will be our 30-year anniversary and therefore 2024 will be an exciting year for us,” said Arie Assaraf, founder of TNT to Retail Insider.
The brand currently has 3 locations in Toronto, being no stranger to the city.
Phase one of TNT’s new flagship location will open around October 20th, with its Men store, then the grand opening following with an expected date of March 2024. Mark your calendars!
“We carry about 250 brands at all different price points. We are an alternative to a department store, but in a boutique style. We really cater to the woman and man’s closet and are all about personal shopping,” said Assaraf. “We cater to the local customer and don’t depend on tourists.” stated Retail Insider.
Toronto locals and Canadians alike can also shop TNT at tntfashion.ca.
