Hudson's Bay: A Canadian Legacy Faces Major Downsizing


Hudson’s Bay Company, a cornerstone of Canadian retail history, is set to undergo a significant transformation. Following a court decision, the company will retain only six stores across Ontario and Quebec, including flagship locations in downtown Toronto and Montreal. Meanwhile, liquidation sales for the remaining 74 stores will commence on March 24, 2025, with closures expected by June.
