Montreal houses one of the largest fashion warehouses in the Americas. This particular ware house has an estimated 30,000 dresses hanging from its racks and if this isn’t that impressive only the Los Angeles ware house beats this one with over 50,000 dresses.

Group International’s 30,000-square-foot corporate headquarters on Chabanel St., there are about 30,000 dresses hanging, and those are just dresses destined for the Canadian market.
