Montreal is a hotbed for retail – especially as one of the fashion capitals of the world. However, local retailers don’t get many opportunities to connect with one another. That’s why Raymark and GFI, in collaboration with Microsoft, hosted a networking cocktail party for retailers on May 13th, 2010.

The event, held at Time Supper Club, brought together retailers such as Buffalo, Fruits & Passion, Parasuco and L’Aubainerie, from Montreal and neighboring cities, where they exchanged views, contacts, and information with the rest of the Montreal retail community.

Given the level of enthusiasm and positive feedback we received, we consider Retail Montreal 2010 to be a success, and we will definitely be hosting other similar events in the future.   

Raymark exhibited at the NRF Big Show in New York City on January 11th and 12th, 2010. The show was a success for both Raymark and retail as a whole, indicating an economic upswing as well as demonstrating the industry’s overall resilience. Buzzing with engaging sessions, new technology and enthusiastic attendees, there was a strong sense that retailers were once again ready to embrace growth and were looking towards a prosperous future with great optimism.

On April 30, 2009, we held our first art day, where employees were invited to contribute art work to be exhibited at the event. The exhibit took place at our head office in Montreal and contributions included paintings, pottery, photography, wood sculptures, sketches and poetry. The overwhelming number of pieces submitted reflected the diversity and creativity of Raymark’s team. We have some very talented people working for us!

During a special luncheon, Raymark’s president, Claude Chriqui, praised the staff’s recent accomplishments and declared Raymark Art Day a yearly event!

Thank you to all Raymark employees for making this a wonderful exhibit. We look forward to seeing what you create for next year.
