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:
“We do not know today whether we are busy or idle. In times when we thought ourselves indolent, we have afterwards discovered, that much was accomplished, and much was begun in us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“But today I set the bed afire
and smoke is filling the room,
it is getting hot enough for the walls to melt,
and the icebox, a gluey white tooth.
I have on a mask in order to write my last words,
and they are just for you....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
