Bluenotes

Bluenotes' own terms page names its operating entity as a division of Thrifty's Inc. (2005) (Sales). Corporations Canada shows Thriftys Inc. (2005) as an active CBCA corporation, incorporated October 8, 2004, registered at 50 Dufflaw Road, Toronto, with the same four directors and address as YM Inc. (Sales), the privately held parent group reported by Wikipedia. The individuals-with-significant-control register is not exposed by this search tool, so the specific claim that the Gertner family controls YM Inc. is reported, not independently verified against that register.

Bluenotes' own site names no factories or countries of manufacture. The CANADA List directory records manufacturing as primarily Asia with sourcing outsourced, consistent with a mall fast-fashion denim chain; this is corroboration from a directory, not a vendor disclosure, so the mix is an estimate rather than a verified split.

Head office and registered office are both in Toronto, and Wikipedia reports 120+ stores across all major Canadian provinces, staffed locally, with no operations described outside Canada.

• Bluenotes - Wikipedia · press “Thrifty's' 107 stores were bought out by U.S. retailer American Eagle Outfitters from Dylex and rebranded the store with name Bluenotes in 2000.”

No vendor or registry source names fabric or material suppliers. Denim and casualwear from an Asia-manufactured mall chain typically draws on the same regional textile mills as its factories, so materials are estimated to follow manufacturing rather than being sourced separately in Canada, the US, or the EU.
