THE RENOWNED BEDDING COLLECTION FROM LE GERMAIN HOTELS, ORIGINALLY OFFERED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH THE SIMONS WEBSITE, IS NOW AVAILABLE IN 8 SIMONS STORES FROM QUÉBEC CITY TO VANCOUVER.
“We had a fantastic response to the quality bedding from our customers who requested we carry the collection in our retail locations,” said Peter Simons, CEO of La Maison Simons. “The idea of prolonging the pleasure of a stay at the hotel is something people dream of and this renowned signature bedding is part of what our customers are looking for from Maison, our home area.” The collection includes sheets, duvets and pillows featuring the enveloping comfort that characterizes a stay in Le Germain Hotels.
“We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Simons, a successful Canadian business,” said Christiane Germain co-founder and co-president of Group Germain Hotels. “Thanks to the growing distribution network of such a fashion retailer, this partnership allows us to extend the experience of a stay in one of our hotels to a much larger Canadian clientele.”
This distribution expansion furthers the relationship between these two Quebec industry leaders whose businesses are on the upswing both with national expansions underway. Group Germain Hotels has 13 properties in five provinces and plans to operate a network of 20 properties in Canada by 2020, while Simons now has 13 stores located in four provinces and is working on developing several more avant-garde stores in the coming years.
