Crate & Barrel

I read

Crate and Barrel has set its sights on Quebec. Known for its furniture, décor accessories and kitchenware, the 25,000-square-foot Crate and Barrel store at Carrefour Laval is scheduled to open its doors next spring. Construction is to start next week. This will be Canada's fifth Crate and Barrel store, the company's first in Quebec and the first to be located in a Cadillac Fairview shopping centre.
Crate and Barrel anticipates hiring approximately 50 workers.

... therefore, I think!



This is a picture of the store from the '60s ... you can see where the name originates from ! Crates & Barrels!

Today, you can order worldwide from the internet site .com
There are already 4 stores in Canada, one more to open in the fall and THE one in Montreal (Laval) in spring 2012. What could I compare it to? Pier 1 Import? IKEA without the put together part?  Cost Plus World Market from global bazaars to you (my favorite) ?

I really like this store, it used to go there often when I was living in the USA.
It is modern, class, good quality, and reasonable pricing ... 

Can't wait to go see ...

je n'ai jamais vu ce magasin en France.
Ikea et Pier Import, si.

Berthoise, ce magasin est surtout aux États-Unis. Il y a plusieurs magasins en Californie et en Illinois mais il y a des états, comme le Vermont, où il n'y a toujours pas de magasin. Toutefois, à l'international, il est possible de commander en ligne. La percée hors USA est seulement au Canada pour le moment.
