Cleo Market Mall

At certain points in a brand's life, nothing remains the same. It is time to reconstruct to move ahead. For Ricki’s and Cleo, this moment arrived. The organizations acquired new owners. Today, we are excited to inform you about our exciting journey ahead. Please note that Putman Investments acquired full ownership of Ricki’s and Cleo. We are thus under new administration (Ricki's and Cleo Mall). Our two iconic fashion companies have over 85 years (Ricki’s) and 45 years (Cleo) of Canadian history. The investment offers a new path for the two companies and their clients (Ricki's and Cleo Mall). Our ownership by another Canadian company is a huge win for the entire retail industry. We have passed through a challenging period in recent years. The two organizations faced immense disruption caused by the pandemic and customers shifting shopping habits (Ricki's and Cleo Mall). The organizations had to initiate the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) protection to protect Canadian ladies' fashion brands.
