Reitmans Canada Limited is a Canadian retailing company, specializing in women's apparel and was founded in 1926 by Herman and Sarah Reitman, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The immediate success of the first store on Saint Lawrence Boulevard (boulevard Saint-Laurent) prompted the Reitmans to open a second store which sold exclusively women's clothing.
