True North: 90/100

Snuggle Bugz demonstrates high economic retention through its status as a Canadian-owned and operated retailer with a significant physical presence. The True North score is bolstered by domestic strategic control and a substantial employment footprint across several provinces. Retention is primarily limited by the global nature of retail product sourcing.
