Urban Planet

Urban Planet is a Canadian fast fashion clothing retailer. They operate over 100 different locations across all 10 provinces of Canada. Stores are primarily found in shopping malls. They are owned by YM Inc, who owns many different popular Canadian mall retailers. 
== History ==
Urban Planet was founded in 1998 by YM Inc. The first Urban Planet locations opened in Ontario. Originally, YM Inc's other brands such as Stitches were most popular, however, as more Urban Planet locations were opened, Urban Planet eventually became one of their most popular chains. 
In the late 2000s, Urban Planet opened new locations in other provinces. By the end of the 2010s, they had locations in every province. In 2014, they had 80 locations. Today, that number has grown to over 100 locations. 
In June of 2021, Urban Planet started a partnership with Forever 21. Urban Planet gained the licensing to the Forever 21 name in Canada and started selling Forever 21 products at some stores. Their websites were also combined into one.
Today, Urban Planet remains a successful clothing retailer in Canada, and is one of the largest YM Inc brands. Currently, they only operate in Canada. In the future, it would make sense for them to expand into other countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom.
