Montreal-based Frank And Oak set to close 7 Quebec stores

Frank and Oak, a popular Canadian apparel brand, is closing all its Quebec stores, impacting approximately 130 staff. This decision is due to ongoing financial challenges compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company will focus on its e-commerce platform and enhance its sustainable clothing line. Despite these closures, Frank and Oak plans to maintain a minimal physical presence with a few stores in major Canadian cities. The move is part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and cut costs while maintaining its eco-friendly brand image.
