Rossy is a Canadian regional chain of variety stores located primarily in the provinces of Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada.

The company was founded by Michael Rossy in 1949.^[1] During the 1960s to the 1990s, different Rossy stores in Montreal were often located within a walking distance from each other. Today such proximities among the stores are less common; but in contrast, the chain has expanded its presence throughout the province.

The first Rossy store in Ontario was opened in 1981 in the city of Cornwall, Ontario.^[2]

In Newfoundland, the last of Hart's former Bargain Giant locations were converted in 2012 to Rossy stores.

Michael Rossy died in 2010 at the age of 88.^[3] He was the uncle of Larry Rossy, the founder of Dollarama.^[4] Despite the family ties, Michael Rossy's chain is unrelated to Dollarama. The latter is instead connected to Rossy S, a now-defunct variety store chain founded in 1910 by Michael Rossy's father.^[5]^[6]

Perrôt, the mascot

Perrôt is the stores' mascot. He is a blue parrot with light blue eyes and a variety of colors of his feathers. ^{[citation needed]}
