There are 118 locations in major malls across Canada and the Northeastern USA, an e-commerce portal called ShopAtShowcase.com, and plans to expand rapidly across the US.[1] HistoryThe first Showcase store was opened in 1994 in the Meadowlark Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. In 2000, the company aggressively expanded at an average of five openings per year.[2] At this time, the company was primarily franchise-based, and modeled primarily as an infomercial outlet store. The Edmonton Journal covered the grand openings of subsequent stores in the Edmonton area as the chain grew.[3] Starting in 2003, the company redesigned stores and began to launch proprietary product lines such as Dream Away, Quantum, and Kyoto and expanded beyond infomercial boundaries, and officially changed its name to “Showcase”. Today, Showcase specializes in mass market trends that are new, exclusive, and hard-to-find. Showcase is currently updating its store design and branding to "The Home of the Hottest Trends". A flagship store, displaying the new store design and branding, was opened in Sherway Gardens in May 2018. According to the Corporate Overview on the company's website, they are in the midst of strategizing an expansion to the US, with an ultimate goal of rolling out 100 stores by 2020. Ten pilot stores are planned in the Northeast. Some locations haven opened in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.[4] MediaShowcase has been covered in the media usually during the Christmas holiday season as a place to find unique gifts or to find out in person how the novel and unique products “really work”. This interest has been generated because these products are not typically available for customers to try until they have been purchased, usually from the U.S., while in store customers are able to test the products for themselves or receive a demonstration.
