Today
Holt Renfrew bills itself as "a national retail specialty store of international renown and the headquarters for the world’s most prestigious brands and innovative designers". It currently operates nine stores, located in Toronto (on Bloor Street, and in Yorkdale Shopping Centre and Sherway Gardens), Montreal, Quebec City (Ste.-Foy), C. D. Howe Building in Downtown Ottawa, The Core Shopping Centre in Downtown Calgary, Manulife Place in Downtown Edmonton and Pacific Centre mall in Downtown Vancouver. There is also a "Last Call" end-of-the-line store at Vaughan Mills in Vaughan, Ontario. The Last Call outlet in Winnipeg closed in 2007, but Holt Renfrew operates personal shopping suites and a cosmetics outlet in that city.
The Bloor Street (Toronto), Montreal and Edmonton locations include Holt's Café, an informal diner-like restaurant concept, that features tartine made from Poilane bread that is flown in directly from Paris, France.
Holt Renfrew also contributed to promote new brands, such as Greta Constantine, designed by Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“As yesterday and the historical ages are past, as the work of today is present, so some flitting perspectives and demi-experiences of the life that is in nature are in time veritably future, or rather outside of time, perennial, young, divine, in the wind and rain which never die.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“Nobody can resist a ripe idea. The idea today is change.”
—Tansu Ciller (b. 1946)
