| Store information | |
Holt Renfrew Ogilvy, formerly and still colloquially Ogilvy (French: La Maison Ogilvy), is a luxury department store on Saint Catherine Street West in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was designed by David Ogilvy for his father James Angus Ogilvy, and opened in 1912. The store was acquired by Wittington Investments (owned by the Weston family) in 2011, which finished renovating, expanding, and consolidating the nearby Holt Renfrew department store on Sherbrooke Street West into the Ogilvy building in 2020. It spans 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) of selling space, and is nicknamed the "grande dame of Saint Catherine Street" as the only one of four major west-end stores in the city to retain its original name.
Ogilvy originated as a dry goods store in 1866, and moved to the corner of Saint Catherine Street West and De la Montagne Street in 1912. It was a full-line department store by 1920, and today houses several store-within-a-store departments for luxury brands. It was also affiliated with the European department stores Selfridges, Brown Thomas, and de Bijenkorf until the Weston family divested of the Selfridges Group in 2022.
