Reitmans Ltd. is a Canadian retailing company, specializing in women's clothing. It was founded in 1926 by Herman and Sarah Reitman, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The immediate success of the first store on Saint Lawrence Boulevard (boulevard Saint-Laurent) prompted the Reitmans to open a second store which sold exclusively women's clothing.
At the end of January, 2015, Reitmans operated 823 stores organized into seven operating chains: Reitmans (341 stores), Smart Set (94 stores), R.W. & Company (76 stores), Thyme Maternity (68 stores), Penningtons (139 stores) and Addition-Elle (105 stores). The company operates stores in every province and territory in Canada. For the fiscal year of 2015, net earnings were $13,415,000 on sales of $939,376,000. (See Annual Report and filings on the TSX)
