Torrid, the plus-sized retailer owned by Hot Topic (City of Industry, Calif.), will begin its global expansion with a store in Toronto. The new location will open Sept. 1.

The Financial Post reports that Canada has a lack of plus-sized fashion retailers proportionate to the country’s overweight and obese population. Torrid plans to cater to this market by offering fashionable clothing in sizes from 12 to 28.

Torrid operates 290 stores in the U.S. and plans to continue expansion this year.
