1986 saw the beginning of a niche store in a new development in Edmonton’s downtown area. The Manulife Place has since established a solid footing as a high-fashion and specialty store destination for shoppers. Alligator Pie Kidswear is a unique part of this scene, catering to the needs of newborns, toddlers and growing children.
“We had a friend in real estate development,” says store owner Catherine Medak. “He asked if we were interested in opening a shop there, and we went for it.” She says there wasn't a lot of designer kids clothing available in Edmonton at the time, so she decided to take over that niche.
Alligator Pie Kidswear carries designer labels such as Hugo Boss, Armani, Burberry and Puma. These brands are ideal for giving children a dressier look for special occasions or exciting days at school. They also make great gifts for new parents.
