Is Roots Canadian?
Verdict
Canadian owned, made elsewhere
Canadian-owned. A portion of leather goods is still made at the Toronto factory; most apparel is produced offshore.
What this verdict means
The company is Canadian-owned and headquartered here, but the goods themselves are made abroad. Head office jobs, retail jobs and corporate taxes stay in Canada; manufacturing does not.
