North America
On 14 February 2007 Giordano finally made its leap into the North American retail market with the opening of its store in the Aberdeen Centre (時代坊), Golden Villiage district of Richmond in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The store carries full ranges of men's, women's and children's apparel. This location was chosen due to its large Chinese-Canadian population, many of whom come from Hong Kong while it has an immigrant population of 60%, the highest in Canada and increasing. Richmond has over 50% of residents identifying as Chinese, the city in North America with the largest proportion of Asians.

Famous quotes related to north america:
“The Anglo-Saxon hive have extirpated Paganism from the greater part of the North American continent; but with it they have likewise extirpated the greater portion of the Red race. Civilization is gradually sweeping from the earth the lingering vestiges of Paganism, and at the same time the shrinking forms of its unhappy worshippers.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
