In 2004, Holt Renfrew was named "Store of the Year" by the National Association of Store Fixture Manufacturers at its 33rd annual Retail Design Awards.[9] Later that year, Caryn Lerner took the reins as firm president, succeeding Andrew Jennings, who left in February to head up Saks Fifth Avenue. Lerner has held senior management positions at QVC, Jones New York, Barneys New York and Bloomingdale's. She had most recently headed Escada.[10]

In 2005, the chain launched another rebranding exercise, including the introduction of a new logo, led by Alannah Weston, the daughter of Galen Weston. Other changes included the return of children's wear to the chain's stores, a drastic increase in floor area devoted to footwear, store renovations and the construction of new and larger stores in Vancouver and Calgary. Holt Renfrew retained the New York City-firm of Janson Goldstein to design the new Vancouver and Calgary stores, which opened in 2007 and 2009 respectively.[
