So Newlook (141 stores mostly in quebec) has just purchased Greiche and Scaff (49 corporate stores in la belle province) for 18 million $.

At 190 stores across Canada I think that might easily be the biggest chain in the country.

The only question is........ WHEN does either of the beasts purchase this whole shabang.

As a little guy operating an independent practice here, that is definitely worrisome- more so than the webbs and those crazy internets machines
