Multimags operates Montreal's largest network of magazine retailers, with locations across the city including the Plateau, Laurier, Monkland Village, and Little Italy. A banner of Presse Commerce Corporation, the chain has its roots in three outlets acquired in 1989 and has been part of daily Montreal life for over thirty years. The stores carry an extensive selection of domestic and international titles and position themselves as something closer to a cultural general store than a conventional newsstand: a place for discovery and browsing as much as a quick pick-up. Presse Commerce's broader operation encompasses magazine redistribution to waiting rooms across Canada, the Express Mag subscription service managing nearly 500 international titles, toy and book distribution under the D'Artagnan label, and two independent bookstores, Librairie Clio in Pointe-Claire and Librairie Charbourg in Quebec City.
