Caulfeild Apparel Group

HANK. has opened a 1,500-square-foot seasonal store in downtown Oakville, converting Caulfeild Apparel Group's existing showroom into a street-front retail location. CEO Mike Purkis discusses the low-capital format, early lessons from the chain's first stores and its Canadian expansion ambitions.

HANK. will open its first Ontario stores in late summer 2026 as veteran retail executives target Canada’s premium menswear gap.

Caulfeild launches HANK, a multi-brand menswear concept opening in 2026 across the GTA, aimed at rebuilding premium menswear after major Canadian retail exits including Nordstrom, Saks and Hudson’s Bay. 

CEO Mike Purkis shares how Caulfeild Apparel Group is adapting to the collapse of Hudson’s Bay, navigating tariffs, growing its brand portfolio, and exploring retail opportunities.
