October 26, 2025 - Product Mart says it will move forward with plans to relaunch operations in the United States and Canada, working with local officials to kick start the process.
"I think the United States and Canada will be the perfect places to relaunch our international operations, before expanding elsewhere," said Product Mart CEO Mark Garlow. "We have seen markets in both countries improve significantly, and we are ready to increase operations internationally."
The company completely ceased operations in the US and Canada on July 7, 2021. The company said it was part of its planned restructuring and resulted from uncertainty in the US and Canadian markets.
"We are now in a good place to begin working to restore services in these areas," said Interim Chief Operations Officer Jennifer Steadlin. "We can see incredible opportunities with resuming US and Canadian operations. We are working with suppliers and investors in both countries to relaunch operations there."
The company will be able to establish about 2.6 million new jobs in the US alone, and will create 250,000 new jobs in Canada. It says it could see an extreme growth of company services in other countries as well, but no plans to expand operations are planned currently. The company does not have any plans to start operations in other countries currently, but plans could be annoucned later.
