Still, the Canadian retailer continues to see an increase in online sales. Online increased 55.1 percent for the third quarter. At the end of September, Le Château opened a new e-commerce warehouse and distribution facility.
 
“This investment has greatly enhanced our ability to service our customers more quickly and more efficiently,” the company says in a news statement. “The continued success with our online sales is consistent with the shift in consumer shopping habits and supports our strategy of rightsizing our retail network of stores.”
