Swedish watch and jewellery brand Daniel Wellington inaugurated its first store in Canada last month at CF Carrefour Laval, located in the outskirts of Montreal. 

 
"We are thrilled to be opening our first Canadian store in Québec," said John Ehrnst, executive director for the Americas, in a news statement. 
 
"We can finally showcase our full product range to our existing customers in Canada and provide them with the full, elevated Daniel Wellington experience." 

The watch brand has been present in the country for many years through retail partners such as The Bay and Indigo, and its own website.
 
Ehrnst added that the opening highlights the potential the brand sees in Canada. 
 
For its first Canadian storefront, Daniel Wellington strategically chose to open the 654-square-foot retail space, designed by Montréal-based LODA Design and built by prisma construction, at CF Carrefour Laval due to its “elevated shopping experience”, the company said in a news statement. 
 
"At Cadillac Fairview we are dedicated to delivering an exceptional shopping experience for our guests and introducing first to market retailers like Daniel Wellington is an example of our ongoing commitment," said Sal Iacono, executive vice president of operations, Cadillac Fairview. 

Founded in 2011, Daniel Wellington is partnered with distributors in over 37 markets and represented in over 9,000 points of sales worldwide.
