Urban Planet and Urban Behavior have stores located across Canada, the
eastern United States, and formerly the Middle East. All mall-based stores operate as unisex locations. The outlet locations in Toronto were divided along male and female clothing lines. In July 2008, CMT America Corporation, Urban Behavior's corporate parent in the United States, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Many of the US stores have subsequently been closed. The company has maintained its Canadian stores and continues a wholesale presence in the United States. In June 2011, CMT Canada, Urban Behavior's corporate parent, filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal (“NOI”) pursuant to the provisions of the
Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (“BIA”). The NOI is a restructuring process and did not proceed to a liquidation or bankruptcy of the retailer. Approximately 24 of the existing 120 store locations across Canada were planned to be closed by August 31. Urban Planet opened a store in
New York in 2017. YM Inc. acquired Urban Behaviour in 2011 and had previously acquired Urban Planet years earlier. Urban Behavior was founded in 1989 by Arif Noor. It is now a sister brand of Urban Planet, with 22 stores in Canada as of February 2021. Following the closure of
Forever 21 stores in Canada, Urban Planet carries Forever 21 clothing items inside their stores and online. Urban Planet also carries children clothes under the
Urban Kids banner, and accessories. After the
Hudson's Bay Company closed all its stores, 14 of the properties were taken over by YM Inc. for its banners Urban Planet and Urban Behavior. Five of these locations were acquired directly from the Hudson's Bay Company during its liquidation process and were all formerly occupied by a
Saks Off 5th store. == Controversies ==
