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:
“New York is a meeting place for every race in the world, but the Chinese, Armenians, Russians, and Germans remain foreigners. So does everyone except the blacks. There is no doubt but that the blacks exercise great influence in North America, and, no matter what anyone says, they are the most delicate, spiritual element in that world.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“I knew that the wall was the main thing in Quebec, and had cost a great deal of money.... In fact, these are the only remarkable walls we have in North America, though we have a good deal of Virginia fence, it is true.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
