MONTREAL - The man who founded Aldo has donated $25 million to Montreal's McGill University to help his alma mater build a retail management school.

The multimillion-dollar gift comes from the Bensadoun Family Foundation through Aldo Group founder Aldo Bensadoun.

With the money, McGill University plans to establish the Bensadoun School of Retail Management for undergraduate to PhD students.
