Dominique Leger, Owner, In Pursuit

Dominique grew up in Fredericton, New Brunswick and immediately after graduating high school left for the big city to study Fashion Marketing and Merchandising at Toronto’s International Academy of Design and Technology. From there, she began a 15-year career in retail that included Management and Visual Merchandising. When an opportunity to move back to the Maritimes from Ontario presented itself, she considered it the next step in the right direction on her journey and decided to abandon retail for a Monday to Friday 9 to 5 office job. On a Summer trip to Boston, lights, bells and sirens all started to go off at once as she spotted “The Fashion Truck” at the SoWa Market. She knew instantly that this was it.
