Nevertoolate Posted March 9, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Are there any left in Canada - East Coast? In England they carry the washable wool sweaters which are just great and, if possible, I might squeeze out a little time to visit a store; that is, if there are any. Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerbellcgy Posted March 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Nope. Marks and Sparks pulled out of Canada years ago. It's too bad because their merchandise was good quality at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted March 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2009 They started to shrink there presence in Canada about 15 years ago and went back to the UK about 10 years ago. They like a number of UK retailers just couldn't fiqure how to do business in North America which was too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted March 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I agree, they had a number of very fine products that people just loved...I guess they just couldn't sell enough of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseryyc Posted March 12, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah but to spend extra money on shipping, duty, etc. just to get my fix of bourbon creams seems a little extreme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely agree with you there. Much too expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
