MyFamily Opens First North American Flagship Boutique at Montréal–Trudeau Airport

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MyFamily Opens First North American Flagship Boutique 
at Montréal–Trudeau Airport

Montreal, QC — Following nearly two years of collaboration and development with

Aéroports de Montréal (ADM), MyFamily Canada ocially celebrated the grand

opening of the first MyFamily flagship boutique in North America at Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL).

The boutique, which officially opened earlier this spring and celebrated its grand

opening with ADM leadership in attendance, introduces the internationally

recognized Italian pet identification brand to a new audience of travelers and pet

owners in Canada and abroad.

MyFamily, founded in Italy and present in several international airports across

Europe and South America, is globally known for transforming pet identification

into a more emotional and personalized experience. The YUL boutique features

personalized pet ID tags created in minutes, alongside a curated selection of

premium pet accessories.

“At YUL, we receive a significant number of requests from brands looking to

establish a presence within the airport, so we are always looking for concepts that

bring something unique and meaningful to the passenger experience,” said

Dominic Zappitelli, Assistant Commercial Director at ADM Aéroports de Montréal.

“MyFamily stood out because it offers something different from the traditional

airport retail mix — combining premium pet accessories with personalized pet

identification in a way that creates a meaningful connection with passengers who

are also passionate pet owners. We are very pleased to welcome this concept to

Montréal–Trudeau Airport.”

For MyFamily Canada, however, the boutique represents much more than a retail

location. “This boutique is a flagship to showcase the MyFamily brand, build a

stronger bond with pet owners, and grow awareness in Canada and internationally

— everything we do here is designed to support and drive more business to our

retail partners,” said Daniel Stopnicki, President of MyFamily Canada.

As the official Canadian partner for the MyFamily brand, MyFamily Canada

currently supports more than 1,800 independent pet retailers nationwide through

its pet identification and engraving programs. 

The airport location was intentionally designed as a brand-building and category-awareness initiative rather than a traditional retail expansion. The objective is to elevate consumer awareness around pet identification, personalization, and responsible pet ownership while reinforcing the value of the independent pet retail channel.

“One of the things we’ve learned over the years is that when identification becomes personal and emotional — almost like jewelry for pets — pet owners are far more likely to actually identify their animals,” added Stopnicki. “That benefits pets, pet owners, and ultimately the retailers who support thecategory every day.”

The opening also coincides with a milestone year for MyFamily Canada. The brand was  officially launched in Canada at the PIJAC Canada trade show ten years ago this September, and the company will celebrate its 10-year anniversary this year at the Pets Canada Industry Shows taking place September 20–21 in Drummondville, Quebec, and October 7–8 in Toronto, Ontario. (Pets Canada is the new name of the former PIJAC Canada show.)

A special thank you to Alessandro Borgese and the MyFamily team in Italy for their rust and partnership in bringing this concept to Canada. Members of the pet industry passing through Montréal–Trudeau Airport’s domestic terminal are invited to visit the boutique near Gate 1 to experience the MyFamily concept firsthand and see how personalized pet identification is being showcased in a unique airport retail environment.
