True North: 90/100

Mondou demonstrates high economic retention with a True North score reflecting fully Canadian ownership and centralized domestic control.

True North: 10/100

Petsmart Canada operates as a foreign-owned subsidiary with a substantial physical presence in the Canadian retail market. While the entity supports domestic employment, its True North score is impacted by international ownership and centralized strategic control. Economic retention is primarily limited to operational payroll and local occupancy costs.
