About Groupe Dynamite

Groupe Dynamite is a fashion company from the Montreal area, based in the Town of Mount Royal, with roots going back to 1975. It is the company behind two store brands for young women: Garage, focused on casual clothing and denim, and Dynamite, with dressier pieces for work and nights out. Both are familiar names in Canadian malls.

It suits teens and young women shopping for everyday style, from jeans to dresses. Garage is the stop for relaxed basics, while Dynamite covers office outfits and special occasions. Back-to-school season and the holidays are busy times, so shop early if you are hunting for a specific piece.
