Birks Restarts In-person Shopping At Retail Stores Across Canada

Canadian jewellery retail chain Birks Group reported last week that as of 30th June, 2021, all 29 of its retail stores across Canada are now open for in-person shopping and serving clients in accordance with the directives of local government and public health officials.

On 30th June, the company re-opened all nine of its mall stores in Ontario for in-person shopping, in line with the second step of the province’s reopening plan. The stores were previously closed for in-person shopping (but open for curbside pick-up and concierge services) since 17th April, 2021. The stores were also temporarily closed for a 15-week period between 23rd November, 2020 and 9th March, 2021, in accordance with the Ontario government’s directives for non-essential retail stores. As required by provincial health restrictions, the stores are currently operating at 25% capacity.

Jean-Christophe Bédos, President and Chief Executive Officer of Birks Group, commented: “We are extremely pleased and excited to welcome our clients back into our stores in Ontario following a long closure due to required COVID-19 restrictions. It is a pleasure to have our full retail network available again and to provide our clients with the full scope of our offering and services. As we transition into a gradual re-opening in Ontario, we remain committed to providing our customers with Maison Birks’ elevated client service and luxury experience in a safe environment for all.” For clients who prefer to shop from home, Birks is continuing to offer online services such as virtual appointments, video chats, and e-commerce at MaisonBirks.com.
