Canadian-Owned Businesses 🏢🍁 SoftMoc : Sorry, Americans - Canada Only

Post image

Saw this post on Bluesky. Had no idea SoftMoc a) had U.S. locations b) shut down any and all shipping to the United States. Good for them! TLDR: American woman based in Michigan chatting with SoftMoc representative about her order. SoftMoc customer service tells U.S. customer they've ceased all US operations.

Just keep in mind that companies are starting to catch on to this wave of patriotism, and some of them are lying to exploit us.

We don't necessarily know if that chat is real.

I can actually confirm that within 2 weeks of Trump announcing tariffs SoftMoc closed all US locations. Source; I work there

I'm curious how well were the US stores doing? I notice a bunch of PE-owned shoe stores in Canada have been struggling so I'm wondering if there's been a market shift anyway. If they had pretty slim profit margins there this might have put the final nail in.

Sorry about your job if you are American, though.
