2023 marks a great milestone for us at Mode Choc! As some of you may know already, we’re celebrating our 40^th anniversary! Forty years of history, of fun, of development, but mostly, 40 years of bringing you anything you need to dress your world, at affordable prices. This 40^th year, we wish to make it extra special, and for this we decided to spoil you a little bit, you dear customer, without whom any of this would not have been possible.

“Let us salute together this New Year that is aging our friendship without aging our hearts.”

Victor Hugo

Let’s start with a little bit of story…

Let’s go back in time together!

The year is 1983, we are in Dolbeau, in the Lac-Saint-Jean region. A new chapter is about the open, as Raymond Roussy and Marlène Hudon are opening their first clothing store, offering items for the whole family, which they then call “Aubaines Choc”. The popularity of the store is so great that it allows four new stores to open their doors at the start of the 90s, one in Jonquière, Chicoutimi, La Baie and Roberval.

Aubaines Choc’s beginning in Chicoutimi

The turn of the millennium was a time of transition for the growing business, who welcomes the 2000s under a new name: “Mode Choc”. To provide and adapt to the need of its ever-growing customer base, the stores now offer a wider variety of items from many well-known brands. Only a few years later, the founder’s daughters joined the company’s shareholding; a new generation brought into the family business.

Since then, Mode Choc has continued to expand by conquering markets from Quebec to Moncton, New Brunswick. A new store opens in Saint-Georges in 2015, but it’s not all, the same year Mode Choc also launches its new online store. At modechoc.ca, it’s now possible to buy all that’s offered in-store, in the comfort of your own home. Then, in 2018, Mode Choc makes its grand entrance in the Montreal region, with a new store in Sainte-Thérèse.

In March of this year, yet another page was wirtten in Mode Choc’s history, with the opening of a new store in Sainte-Foy. The founder’s daughters, Jessika and Christel Roussy, already co-owners of many stores, now take another step in the family business with the ownership of this store.

This is how Mode Choc, which started out in a small store counting six employees in 1983, has now grown to eleven stores and more than 600 employees throughout the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick.
