Wise Stores
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wise Stores was a department store located in Eastern Canada. Founded in 1930 in Montreal by Alex Wise, Wise Stores expanded their presence in the 1960s with the arrival of shopping centres. In 1992, the company acquired the even longer running and competitor Peoples department stores from British retailer Marks & Spencer. Wise went bankrupt in 1995. Their original store, located on St-Hubert street in Montreal, operated until the end.
