A new Casper Yorkdale Shopping Centre location just opened its doors this month, inviting consumers to try the sleep brand's popular products first-hand inside a brick-and-mortar space. The award-winning company got its start online and has expanded from its premium mattresses range to bedding, pillows, furniture, lighting, pet-friendly products and more.
The Casper Yorkdale Shopping Centre store aims to provide Canadian consumers with a more "seamless shopping experience" and boasts relaxing interior design elements. They include house-shaped vignettes and store displays, warm wood finishes and even wall art of a sunny side up egg that nods to a morning sunrise.
This retail location follows the brand's Queen Street Toronto store opening and celebrates sleep as not only a necessity but as a wellness-focused experience for consumers.
