Harry Rosen

Harry Rosen, the man behind the name, knows a good suit when he sees one.

He is the Executive Chairman of Harry Rosen Inc., which operates a chain of 22 better menswear stores across Canada, and one in the U.S.

Founded in 1954, as a modest shoebox of a store in downtown Toronto, Harry Rosen Inc. now claims a 28% share of the Canadian better quality menswear market. Rosen himself has won numerous marketing awards over the years, including the first Retail Marketer of the Year Award, from the Retail Council of Canada, in 1987. His business is even featured as a case study in several marketing books, along with the likes of Coca-Cola and General Motors.

A long way yet from resting on his laurels, Rosen closely supervises every aspect of his business, and each Saturday can be found selling in one of his stores.
