Canmore, Alberta
Souvenir apparel programs for Canmore retailers
Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season
Canmore sits outside the east gate of Banff National Park and is the service town for Kananaskis Country, which the province says drew 4.9 million visitors in 2024. The retail core is Main Street, a compact grid of independent shops with the Three Sisters peaks visible at the end of the street. Canmore buyers tend to be outdoor shops as much as gift shops, which changes the mix: more fleece, more hats, fewer novelty tees.
What sells on Main Street
The Three Sisters silhouette is Canmore's logo whether anyone designed it or not, and a localized mountain range wordmark is the first design to stock. Alberta accounts reorder Bridge Text Grizzly above everything else, and Canmore's elk and grizzly sightings make wildlife an easy second tier. December to March is busy with Nordic skiing and ice climbing, so applique hoodies and beanies carry the winter.

Getting stock to Canmore
Ground courier from Vancouver reaches Canmore in about 2 business days, the same as Banff and Calgary. We plan the summer build in May and a fall wave in late September, and the ski wave ships in November. Reorders go through your rep. If you also carry a Banff or Kananaskis line, we localize the same artwork to each name so your racks do not repeat. See the numbers page for the Rockies reorder pattern.

Questions
What Canmore buyers ask
What is the minimum order for a Canmore shop?
Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Canmore shop usually opens with a few designs on tees and adds fleece and caps once the season shows what sells.
How long does shipping to Canmore take?
About 2 business days by ground courier from Vancouver. Orders leave our Vancouver floor once the run is stitched, and reorders go out on the schedule your rep sets with you.
Can the designs say Canmore?
Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Canmore. Designs are drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, and namedrops are included with the program at no art charge.
How do reorders work?
Through your rep, sized to your season. Reorders run on a standing schedule from the Vancouver floor so a hot colour never leaves a hole in the wall.
