Menswear retailer Untuckit is set to open its first Canadian store in Toronto this week, after building a fan base in the country with its online offerings. The brand has also signed hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as an investor and celebrity endorser.

Pangea Brands has created an officially licensed Millennium Falcon waffle maker to add to its "Star Wars" appliances collection. The appliance creates a faithful representation of the spacecraft, including the side cockpit.

A line of cutlery from Ginsu Brand comes with handles in stylish, vivid shades, including purple, black, pomegranate red and presidential blue. "Brightly colored cutlery is an easy and trend-forward way to liven up a neutral kitchen, while making a bold personality statement," said sales executive Sarah Thielemier.

Canadian Tire has launched a campaign to educate customers about the 15,000 consumers who test and review its products. Canadian Tire and other retailers are working to prove the authenticity of the influencers behind online reviews and social media mentions.

The parent of Canadian grocery chain Sobeys has hired Michael Medline as its new CEO, replacing interim chief Francois Vimard who will now serve as executive vice president. Medline is a 15-year veteran of retailer Canadian Tire, where he most recently served as CEO before stepping down last year.
