The Death of FactoryDirect.ca – The Legal Beaver (legalbeaver.ca)

A tale of labour violations and shady practices from an ex employee.

I’m going to talk about Factory Direct. It started off in 1995 as an electronics retailer and evolved into a merchant of everything refurbished.

It turns out that they are going out of business. Once, they were a popular place to buy products cheap that were liquidated from other stores. Now they are liquidating themselves....

Future Shop, now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

"Future Shop's use of haggling appealed to customers who had immigrated to Canada from countries where the practice is commonplace, while Best Buy's relaxed atmosphere was popular among women."
