What is Penningtons?
Penningtons is a Canadian retail banner specialising in plus-size women's clothing. It is part of Reitmans (Canada) Limited, the Montreal-founded fashion group established in 1926 by Herman and Sarah Reitman and still controlled by the Reitman family.
Products and positioning
The range covers everyday wardrobe needs for plus-size women:
- bottoms, tops, activewear and sleepwear
- lingerie, with bras from 38B to 52H
- shoes in sizes 6 to 11 in wide and double-wide widths
- accessories
Clothing runs from X to 6X, roughly sizes 14 to 32, and trousers come in regular, petite and tall lengths. Prices are aimed at the value and mid-market customer.
Distribution
Penningtons operates around 135 stores, with locations in all ten Canadian provinces, plus its own online store. The banner sits alongside other Reitmans formats in the group's portfolio.
Why it matters
Penningtons is one of the largest dedicated plus-size fashion chains in Canada, showing how a national group can serve an underserved size range with a specialised store network rather than a small extension of a mainstream brand.
