Canada Goose (TSX:GOOS) plans to change business strategies
As COVID-related public health restrictions are eventually lifted amid vaccination campaigns, it is expected that people will return to physical retail stores. However, Canada Goose, which is a luxury winter clothing and parka maker, has kept its full-year guidance unchanged.
Canada Goose is reportedly planning to sell its products through its stores and website, while it maintains distance from third-party retailers. This could help the company to increase profitability.
The Canadian company has also revealed that it is committed to removing fur from its iconic parkas. The Toronto-based apparel brand has said that it will stop buying fur by the year-end and cease manufacturing such clothes by 2022-end.
In the past, Canada Goose has often been criticized by animal rights groups as they use coyote fur in some of their clothes. The company has, however, not revealed which material will be used to replace the fur.
