Since the topic is European brands, one company I was sad to see leave this town was Benetton. I still remember the good old days when there were THREE Benetton shops in Ottawa. Now there are just two left in all of Canada (both in Toronto). Benetton has really been downsizing operations in North America. At the same time, there are hundreds of stores all over Europe (30 in the Barcelona area alone). I wonder why this brand failed to catch on here. To add insult to injury, they have no online shopping on their website.
