tombarnes 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 According to this article in the Washington Post, the venerable Hudson's Bay Company has been sold to a billionaire from South Carolina. While I don't doubt that this is deeply wounding to the Canadian psyche, seeing the stores close would have caused greater sorrow. I always liked visiting the Bay when visiting Canada. I hope the stores won't be cheapened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevenRocks 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 That's Canada's oldest company, period. Even though I'm proud to be an American and I guess it will work out okay for all involved, it still has to be hurtful to Canadian pride at some level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memphian 254 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Should I predict that these stores may eventually become a Macy's like almost everything else in The States? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

memphian 254 Report post Posted February 15, 2006 Best I can remember, The Bay had an agreement with Federated Dept. Stores that allowed The Bay to sell the Federated Private Label Brands like INC, etc. This may just be a natural progression in North America. At least Holt Renfrew and Simons in Quebec are still around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tombarnes 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2006 I had thought that Holt Renfrew was also still in Toronto. They had a store in Yorkville. Perhaps it's gone now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memphian 254 Report post Posted February 15, 2006 I think Holt's is Nation-Wide. I know I went to one in Edmonton. Simons is the Quebec Provencial Store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
