Thursdays is an independent retail boutique founded by Rita Benzacar, her brother James Benzacar, and Rita’s daughter Gillian Piltz. Located at 1130 Yonge Street in Toronto, the boutique lives up to its name by unveiling fresh merchandise every Thursday, ensuring customers stay ahead of the latest trends.

With over 30 years of experience in the wholesale fashion industry, Rita and James recognized a consistent demand for new styles. At the same time, Gillian, then a business student at Western University, envisioned creating a space where university students could find the perfect outfit just in time for the weekend. Together, the mother-daughter team carefully curates a collection that speaks to all ages, fostering an inclusive and welcoming shopping experience.

Guided by the motto “Thursdays and Every Other Day,” the boutique aims to help every customer feel confident and beautiful every day of the week. As Thursdays continues to grow, it has evolved into a brand of its own—designing and manufacturing signature cashmere pieces and customer favorites. Driven by passion and creativity, the team at Thursdays is committed to dressing the women they love—every day.
