History of Indigo Books & Music

The company is a Canadian retail bookstore chain. The company was established in 1996 by CEO Heather Reisman, wife of Gerry Schwartz which is the majority owner and CEO of Onex Corporation. The company’s initial big box bookstore, initially called “Indigo Books, Music & More”, was opened in Burlington, Ontario on September 4, 1997. With the help of Onex, the company later engaged in a hostile takeover of Chapters, their biggest competitor, and succeeded in acquiring the company in 2001, but continues to manage lots of stores under the Chapters banner. Indigo also achieved the ownership of the Coles chain of small-format bookstores, which was also owned by Chapters.

In current years, the company has partnered with Apple and iUniverse publishing. Indigo also produces its own brand of products, called IndigoLife. In addition, the chain’s Indigo Trusted Advisor Program proffers book commendations from professionals in health, finance, and the environment, for example David Bach and David Suzuki.
