Buying local is more than just a choice. It’s about keeping local expertise alive, supporting passionate people, and building a future that reflects who we are. It also means standing behind a team of nearly 2,500 local employees, dedicated individuals who share the same mission: to provide clothing designed for your life.
Every piece we create reflects this commitment: accessible quality, deep Quebec roots, and a sincere desire to support every family, in all its forms.
Thank you for being part of our big family. Let’s continue weaving the story of Aubainerie together.

Our Storie
Our Storie
For 80 years, our story has reflected the passion and commitment of each generation.
It is a story of family, courage, and perseverance. Over the decades, we have evolved, overcoming challenges with determination and creativity. What we have achieved far exceeds our humble beginnings, but our spirit remains the same: that of a united family, proud of its Quebecois roots and dedicated to offering the best to our customers.
Today, this pride is embodied in the “Designed in Québec” certification mark we proudly display. This distinction, earned for our clothing and accessories, reflects our commitment to local design and to showcasing the talent and expertise of Quebec.
We have transformed this wonderful company into a symbol of success, longevity, and Quebec pride.
Our Beginnings
Our Beginnings
In 1944, in La Tuque, Mauricie, the first store of the chain opened under the name L’Économie. In the following years, other branches emerged, managed by members of the same family.
The chain truly took off in the early 1980s, when a group of owners rebranded it and created a new banner. The result: larger stores, standardized signage, and collective purchasing power.
In 1997, the chain adopted the name L’Aubainerie and embraced a fashion-forward direction, focusing more on new trends while maintaining extremely affordable prices.

New stores then opened under the name L'Aubainerie Concept Mode. The network’s growth was rapid, and the chain now has over 50 retail locations, making it the largest clothing retailer in the province.
Aubainerie remains a family business whose leaders share a passion for fashion and close ties with their customers.
Driven by a desire to make the latest trends accessible to everyone, the Aubainerie team continually renews its collections and pursues its growth.

Unforgettable
Birthdays, graduations, holidays, and vacations are some of the hundreds of moments that create core memories for you and your family. And, when we take the time stop and take it all in, we can even find special little moments in our everyday as well. The clothes we wear not only serve as reminders of a time spent together but with Aubainerie they allow us to mark those periods with trends at a price that makes room for you to create even more.
