Future Shop was a Canadian electronics store chain. It was established in 1982 by Hassan Khosrowshahi. [1] By 1990, the chain had become the country's largest retailer of computer and consumer electronics. In January 2013, the company operated 139 locations across Canada.
As the missing photo on the National Gallery of Canada’s website suggests, however, the Khosrowshahis have gone to great lengths to stay out of the spotlight. Members of the family and representatives from the various subsidiaries of their holding company, Persis Ltd., all ignored or declined repeated requests for interviews.
