Mode Choc is a Quebec family clothing retailer founded in 1983 by Raymond Roussy and Marlène Hudon, now led by the second generation from a head office in Alma, with 12 stores in Quebec and New Brunswick and more than 450 employees. About half its merchandise is exclusive house collections designed in Quebec and made by partner factories in Asia; the rest is imported third-party brands, and it sells direct through its own stores and website.

Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The About page says family succession is assured by the second generation, with the founders' younger daughter running the company, and the 40th anniversary post names the founders Raymond Roussy and Marlène Hudon and their daughters Jessika and Christel Roussy as shareholders and store co-owners. Corporations Canada returns no federal record, consistent with a Quebec provincial corporation; the Registraire des entreprises du Québec was unreachable, so the legal entity and shareholder register could not be checked, and no Wikipedia, Wikidata, or CANADA List entry exists.

The social responsibility page says Mode Choc designs and imports about 50 percent of its merchandise as exclusive collections, made by partner factories in Asia, and the Les Produits du Québec listing certifies those lines as designed in Quebec, not made there. The other half is third-party brands whose origin the site does not state; the small Canadian, EU, and US shares are an estimate for that assortment.

Head office is at avenue du Pont Sud in Alma, Quebec, with a satellite design office in Sainte-Thérèse, and the company reports more than 450 employees across its 12 stores in Quebec and New Brunswick.

Design work happens in Alma and Sainte-Thérèse, but fabrics and trims for garments sewn in Asian partner factories almost certainly come from Asia, and the site does not name material sources. The online store runs on Shopify with Moneris payments, a minor US platform dependency alongside its own 12 stores; the split is an estimate.
