Le Chateau to close
Le Chateau, a clothing chain that’s been around for decades, is liquidating its business and closing its doors.
Update: and yet Uniqlo is finally opening its first Quebec branch on Ste‑Catherine.
Another update: the opening attracted a considerable crowd.

It used to be awesome in the 80s but since the 90s there was a big shift toward knockoff styles, and since the turn of the century it’s been a 3rd rate Reitmans, basically where to buy discount versions of last year’s fast-fashion secretary clothes.

I’m going to shop at Uniqlo. Unlike le Chateau their sizes are meant for short Asians like me…

Le Chateau hasn’t been in style for years. They needed new blood for a long time. Uniqlo is fast fashion… more stuff from the heaps, rather than anything on quality that will last.

Oh, that’s too bad. It was one of the few stores with sizes that skewed slim. Good news about Uniqlo though.

Yeah, I’ve thought for years that le Chateau needed some sort of re-branding.
The timing for Uniqlo’s opening isn’t great and it’s downtown, but I suspect it’ll do well.

It’s a little embarrassing to admit but basically everything I wear is from Uniqlo. So obviously I’m happy they’re opening here.

I wish a MUJI would open up here.

I love Muji! One of my favorite shirts ever came from there, which is hard to believe given that so much of their men’s clothes seems to be geared towards 5’5″ 103-pound people. For example, I was in the Muji store in Santa Monica a few years ago and I saw some socks I liked. I asked if they had them in size 11 and the guy looked at me as if I had asked if they sold nuclear missiles. Then he said “we don’t sell socks larger than size 9.” Ok then.
