It was one of the first off-price department stores in Canada. In 1990, it merged with off-price department store owner TJX. By the time of its acquisition by TJX in June 1990, Winners had five stores in the country, all of which were in the Toronto area. Except for the store on Spadina Avenue that closed in 2018, all of these Winners are still in operation (either in their original or relocated spaces).
