Mark Dufresne

CEO, The Dufresne Group

I’m an entrepreneurial business leader passionate about “Making Life Better” for our teams, guests, and community.
 
I’m so proud of what The Dufresne Group (TDG) has accomplished since our humble beginnings in Kenora, Ontario, and the experiences I’ve gained along this journey. With constant learning, improvements, consultations, many failures, and even more determination, today TDG spans all Canadian provinces with over 225 storefronts served by our Dufresne and Ashley brands, plus another 110 stores in the USA together with our powerhouse partner, the Dufresne Spencer Group (DSG). It’s been an amazing 36 years, and credit goes out to all the team members, mentors, friends, and family members who helped us along the way.

Today I am most excited about the opportunities we have in front of us – for growth, innovation, and team development. We are on the precipice of a new retail era and charging full steam ahead!
