About Simons
Simons is a family-run department store from Québec City, founded in 1840. It sells clothing for women, men and kids, along with home goods, and it has its own labels such as Twik and Contemporaine.
It suits shoppers looking for everything from wardrobe basics to an outfit for a special event, all under one roof. The home section is handy for bedding, towels and small gifts. A visit to the original store in Old Québec pairs well with a walk through the historic streets. It is one of Quebec's oldest retailers, still run by the same family.
