The Team Founded in 2003, Livestock is Canada's premier lifestyle apparel and footwear boutique, opening its first retail store in Vancouver, Canada. Since then, Livestock has grown across Canada, with stores in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, alongside an omni-channel online store that ships to customers around the world.
