The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition that as shoppers crammed into stores across the country on Black Friday, Carrie Baker was busy greeting customers and ringing up purchases at Canada Goose Holdings' store on Saint-Catherine Street West in Montreal. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that the president of the luxury apparel business was one of 15 members of Canada Goose's executive ranks who ditched her desk to play sales associate. Chief executive officer Dani Reiss was stationed at Yorkdale Mall in Toronto. Others visited stores in Los Angeles, London, Zurich, Shanghai and Tokyo. Their goal was to spend the day observing customers and employees before reconvening with ideas about how the Toronto-based company, founded in 1957, can drive more sales, traffic and productivity. Ms. Baker said, "I think it's so important that we learn from the floor (and take) every opportunity to improve, to double down on what's really working, to see it from those eyes rather than just sit behind a desk and see a report." An unusually warm fall in much of Canada and elevated inflation have caused many shoppers to put off big-ticket winter purchases such as Canada Goose's cold weather-friendly apparel.
