Ogilvy

Holt Renfrew Ogilvy, formerly and still colloquially Ogilvy, is a Canadian department store located on Saint Catherine Street West in the downtown core of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It has been owned by the Selfridges Group, which itself is owned by British-Canadian businessman Galen Weston, since 2011. Through this ownership, it is affiliated with the Canadian department store Holt Renfrew and the European department stores Arnotts, Brown Thomas, de Bijenkorf, and Selfridges. The store is the only one of four major west-end retailers in Montreal that still operates with its original name, and is nicknamed the "grande dame of Saint Catherine Street". Ogilvy originated as a dry goods store, and was founded in 1866 by James Angus Ogilvy. The store moved into its present-day location on the corner of Saint Catherine Street West and Rue de la Montagne in 1912, and was considered a full-line department store by 1920. It now houses several departments of store-within-a-store designs for luxury goods brands including Burberry, Hermes, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Dior. The store was rebranded to Holt Renfrew Ogilvy in 2019, and completed a significant renovation and expansion in 2020 through a collaboration between Jeffrey Hutchinson & Associates, Martin Brûlé Studio, Laplace, Gensler & Lemay; it provides for the consolidation of the existing Holt Renfrew on Sherbrooke Street West into the larger, Ogilvy building.
