Reitmans stores sell women's fashion, Penningtons dresses plus-size women, and RW&CO serves both men and women, with separate product ranges sold through each brand's stores and website. The company designs its collections in Canada and makes its money selling them in its own stores and online, where customers shop by brand for clothing and accessories across casual and work styles.
