Our Story

Edge Clothing was founded in 1984 by the Grande family in Parkland Mall, originally known as Fits You Shops Inc. In the early 1990s, we expanded and opened a second location in Bower Place. By the early 2000s, we rebranded as Edge Clothing.

Now, 41 years later, we remain proudly local — still family-owned and operated by the second generation of the Grande family — with our single store located in Bower Place.

My name is Marco Grande, and I’ve been part of Edge Clothing since I was 14 years old. In fact, I was born the same year our business was founded, so you could say I was born into the clothing industry! I chose to stay in this field because I truly love it — not just the fashion, but the amazing people and connections it has brought into my life.

My wife, Tessa, joined the business eleven years ago as our incredible bookkeeper and ladies’ buyer. Together, we’re raising two young children — which might explain why our kids’ department has grown so much in recent years!

We’re as local as it gets. You’ll see us around Red Deer — at the grocery store, swimming at the Collicutt Centre, biking the city’s beautiful trails, or grabbing a bite in the Bower Place food court. We’re proud to support our community through local charity events and donations, and we’re deeply grateful for the continued support from our amazing customers over the past 41 years.

From our family to yours — thank you for shopping local and being part of our story.

Hope to see you at the shop or online!
With gratitude,
The Grande Family
