Hughes Clothing

Clothing store with separate women's and men's shops in Athlone Court and a shoe shop a short walk east on the Avenue.

Known for Max Mara, Eileen Fisher and about 60 other labels across three Village shops

Our take

Hughes spent about 35 years downtown before moving to Athlone Court in 2020. Donna Anderson ran it for 36 years, then handed it to Rebecca Burrows, a former ballet dancer she had first hired at 19, fresh from Winnipeg. Today there is the women's store, Hughes for Men in the same building, and Shoes by Hughes up the Avenue beside Rogers'.

Local tipOpen seven days, including Sundays and holidays from 11 to 4. Street parking is free.
