Canadians who flocked to Le Chateau Inc. stores for the last 60 years will need to find a new place to pick up formal wear for dances, galas, clubbing and prom.

The Montreal-based retailer that was beloved by shoppers looking for dressy apparel without the luxury prices announced Friday that it is seeking court protection from creditors and wants to close its stores.

Le Chateau intends to remain fully operational as it liquidates its 123 stores, but the eventual closures will mean the end of about 1,400 jobs -- 500 at its head office and 900 at stores. Le Chateau expected Gordon Brothers Canada ULC and Merchant Retail Solutions ULC to be appointed as consultants to implement the liquidation and PricewaterhouseCooper Inc. to become its monitor in CCAA proceedings.

Part of why Le Chateau met its demise is because it is hard to be an evergreen brand that appeals to every generation, said Winder. "To be honest, I thought this would happen to Le Chateau a lot earlier, even before COVID," said Winder.

Thank You, Le Château, For The Questionable Fashion Moments That United UsRIP to all the babydoll dresses and polka dot shirts. That's a Google dress! 😆 When they came out in the 80’s it was punk rock magic!!! Loved that chain as a kid! Thanks for posting an informative article filled with memories rather than the copy and paste, wannabe retail insider articles out there.
