There could be no more Zellers stores in Canada by next spring
There could be no more Zellers stores in Canada by next spring
More changes are afoot within Hudson’s Bay Company: the company has announced it will close the majority of the 64 remaining Zellers department stores that were not sold to Target Corporation last year. The Zellers stores are expected to be phased out by March 2013, but a spokesperson told the Financial Post that HBC is contemplating reopening some of the locations under another name. Any hardcore Zellers lovers left out there—hey, there may be some—can take comfort in the fact that Target is scheduled to launch in Canada around the same time, so there should be no scarcity of low-cost clothing
available. [Financial Post]
GOOD! Next——> NO MORE SEARS!!
no more sears, no more bay…
is this meant to be a wish list?
This actually makes me sad. I know that the Zellers shopping experience was not particularly pleasant but you could find really good deals there and it was often my go-to place when I needed small appliances, towels and stuff. Also their kids clothing was very well priced and great quality. Target is snazzier and hipper but, like Wal-Mart, they never really have anything on sale. Also, Zellers was a great employer and a mainstay of small town Ontario so it’s kind of sentimental.
Let’s see what Target will have to offer.
