What is WOW?

2019 is the ninth year that Leger’s WOW study has been conducted in Ontario to identify the retailers that provide the best in-store customer experience.

WOW enables retailers to understand:

  • How they can develop and retain their clientele
  • Their main strengths and weaknesses (and those of their competitors)

The retailers who provided the best in-store customer experience in 2019 are:
