After shuttering all of its locations back in 2019, it looks like fast-fashion retailer Forever 21 is returning to Canada.

A new report from Retail Insider reveals that the Los Angeles-based brand will be bringing physical stores back to the True North, as part of an expansion led by Toronto-based YM Inc.

Editor's Choice:

The companies established a partnership back in 2020, which included a new Forever 21 online store for the Canadian market. 

While all stores in Canada were closed down as part of a bankruptcy filing several years ago, YM Inc. took over many of the leases to operate various stores, including Urban Planet, Urban Behaviour and Stitches. 

It is not yet known how many Forever 21 locations could return to malls and stores around Canada in total, but agreements have already been made for Metropolis at Metrotown near Vancouver and Devonshire Mall in Windsor, Ontario.
