Indigo announces grand opening of Vancouver flagship

Darpan News Desk, 01 Nov, 2018 11:30 AM
    Indigo (TSX: IDG), the world's first cultural department store for booklovers and one of Canada's pre-eminent retailers, is delighted to announce the grand opening of Indigo's new flagship store in Vancouver, British Columbia. Located at 1033 Robson Street, the two-level, 29,000 square foot location marks the company's return to the globally renowned shopping district. A destination for the whole family, customers can look forward to grand opening weekend events from November 3-4 including author signings, kids' storytime, fun activities, live music and more.
     
    Indigo Robson is excited to share with Vancouver a photography installation by celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky.  Known for capturing evocative landscapes, Burtynsky's installation showcases the stunning ancient forests in Avatar Grove, Pacheedaht First Nation Territory, near Port Renfrew in British Columbia. The installation's ambition is to raise awareness about the implications of the clear cutting of ancient forests and reinforcing the need to protect them. With less than 10% of the grandest ancient forests on Vancouver Island remaining, only 6% of these forests are protected in parks and the rest is at risk of being logged in a few short years. Dedicated to this cause, Indigo and Edward Burtynsky are committing $25,000 each to the Ancient Forest Alliance, a non-profit organization working to protect BC's endangered old-growth forests and ensure a sustainable, second-growth forest industry.
     
    Designed by award-winning and globally recognized design firm Burdifilek, Indigo Robson is a warm, contemporary and immersive setting for booklovers to explore the best in books, beautiful gifts and toys, and Indigo's exclusive in-house designed lifestyle products. Offering consumers a place to unwind and unplug, Indigo Robson is centered around life-enriching pillars including reading, wellness, cooking, kids' edutainment and events celebrating authors and artists from the community and beyond. 
     
    With books at the heart and soul of Indigo, the Vancouver flagship will have over 58,000 unique book titles. Customers can also access an unlimited selection online through in-store kiosks, including online exclusive items which offer free shipping of all items to store with no minimum spend, plus free returns. In addition, the Robson Street store also has a Starbucks café.
     
    Indigo will also be supporting the local community through the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation, an organization that is dedicated to putting books in the hands of Canadian children. Since inception, the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation has provided over $29 million to high-needs elementary schools across Canada, with $3.5 million to British Columbian schools.
     
    Grand Opening Events: 
    To celebrate the opening of Indigo Robson, the public is invited to attend a special weekend of grand opening events from November 3-4. For full event details, please visit indigo.ca/events.
