The first three Polestar Spaces locations in Canada will be:

• Toronto, ON – 55 Avenue Rd, in the city’s Yorkville area
• Montreal, QC – 1255 boulevard René Levesque, in downtown Montreal
• Vancouver, BC – 827 Seymour Street, in Vancouver’s business district

All three of the locations are set to open in the fall. Polestar will also be opening service centres in Victoria, BC and Waterloo, ON.

“Grand Touring Automobiles represents a collection of the most luxurious and exclusive automotive products in the world,” said CEO Paul Cummings. We are honoured and excited to add the Polestar brand to the collection.”

”With over 50 years of building a reputation for delivering benchmark customer service, GAIN Group creates ownership experiences for our customers unlike any other,” said Peter Trzewik, a Partner in GAIN Group. ”We are thrilled to add Polestar to our portfolio.”
