Tempur-Pedic operates as a foreign-owned brand with strategic control and profit flows centralized in the United States. This structure results in a low True North score, reflecting limited Canadian economic retention beyond regional sales and distribution jobs.

True North: 90/100

The Brick maintains a high True North score due to its status as a subsidiary of a Canadian-owned and operated public parent company. While operations and strategic control are firmly situated in Canada, the global nature of furniture manufacturing results in mixed input sourcing. The overall economic retention within Canada is high relative to the retail sector.

True North: 40/100

Hudson's Bay maintains a significant operational presence and historical legacy within Canada. However, its True North score is impacted by its transition to foreign private ownership and foreign strategic control. Profits primarily flow to international capital holders despite the large domestic employment footprint.
