What Groupe Dynamite does

Designs and retails young women's fast-fashion apparel under the Garage and Dynamite brands.

Designs its own clothing, has it made by contract factories and sells it through its own stores and websites, so it keeps the retail margin but carries inventory risk if styles misfire. Garage is the larger presence in the US, while Dynamite is concentrated in Canada.
