As Canada gets ready to welcome back one of its most iconic retailers, Zellers may need to rely on more than just its nostalgia factor to find success a second time around.

Walmart will eat them alive
Walmart is a garbage company that hires foreigners.
this is not going to go well
What’s next re opening bargan Harold’s? lol
Bi-Way next? LOL
@Yukon Striker Hahahaha Bi-Way
I’m an American who has no skin in this game, but I do have a question….How might this appeal to the nostalgic, is it going to be Zellers resurrected, or is it just going to be Hudson’s Bay with a new Iine simply using the name Zellers? If the latter, then sadly it seems Iike a gimmick.
Most Hudson’s Bay locations are 2 floors if not 3, apparently a whole floor will be the Zellers locations. They will have an electronics, And Toy department as well as food and cleaning material departments. It’ll essentially be a Walmart but without the clothing sections. Clothes will be in the Hudson’s Bay locations up or downstairs lol
@silverdart333 Thanks for your response. Sounds Iike more than just a featured wing, seems Iike those who are nostalgic and those who are new to it will both find something they’re Iooking for. Have to check it out when I come up. Now, I don’t know what y’all’s Walmarts are Iike, but I’m hoping Zellers will be a cut or 10 above Walmart as far as corporate culture, customer service and class of clientele 🤣
Yeah, this will lose them money, for sure.
So the locations will be inside existing Bay stores taking up only 1 floor ? They likely won’t have too much selections of products, so basically it’s a floor designated to sell discounted items The Bay can’t sell (reduced to move) Isn’t the Bay in downtown Vancouver about to temporarily close for major re-modelling this year ?
If the restaurant comes back ill visit
They should open their own locations and ask Canadians should show support to zollers and tell Walmart they’re not the only one. Let’s kick Walmart out of Canada.
