About Us

A Brief Company Profile

Since its inception in 1985, the retail design firm of Gervais Harding Associates has evolved into the creative powerhouse GHA design studios. We generate original and viable solutions for age-old retail dilemmas because we understand how people shop. We don’t simply put ideas on the table that look good, we propose ideas that respond to the shopping habits and influences of the target consumer.

What makes us different from our competitors? At GHA, we work with Developers as their shopping or outdoor centre designers AND we work with Retailers as their store designers. This gives us the advantage of knowing exactly what each one needs in order to succeed – what we like to call, “working on both sides of the lease line”.

With our head offices located in bi-cultural Montreal, Quebec and in Detroit, Michigan, we are proud to bring our special blend of Canadian and American perspective to the international forum.
