CAbi, one of the largest direct sale women’s apparel businesses in the U.S., is entering the Canadian market this week.
The Canadian market will include all provinces, except for Quebec, and represents the first foray outside of the U.S. for the 14-year-old company. CAbi — Carol Anderson by invitation — was cofounded by Kimberly Inskeep, who is president and chief culture officer, designer Carol Anderson and 10 other individuals.
CAbi was acquired three years ago by two private equity firms, J. H. Whitney & Co. and Irving Place Capital.

Dennis Cannon, a long-time chiropractor and nutritionist in Texas, was tired of what new healthcare guidelines had done to his thriving practice.  Fighting with insurance companies for reimbursement was not what he expected from his career, and he soon realized that diminishing income meant he had many more years ahead of him in order to fund his retirement plan.  That’s when he found LIMU, right at the perfect time.
