True North: 10/100

Saks Fifth Avenue maintains a physical retail presence in Canada, supporting domestic employment at the store level. However, the True North score reflects that ultimate capital ownership and strategic control reside with foreign interests. Most economic value beyond local payroll and rent flows out of the Canadian economy.
