For many, the Zellers brand is the embodiment of kitsch from the 80s to 90s and synonymous with nostalgia for many Quebecers.
The famous store will return to Quebec in 2023 in the form of small boutiques ranging from 740 square feet to 930 square feet in five locations across the province.
Orchestrated by The Bay, this rebirth comes almost 10 years after the closure of the last Zellers store in Quebec, Place Fleur de Lys, on March 13, 2013.
A good majority of Zellers stores were then converted to Target, a brand that failed to gain a foothold in the Quebec market. Shops under this banner closed in January 2015.
The new Zellers stores will be located in Hudson’s Bay stores and will not look like the large retail stores they used to be.
These stores complement the Zellers.ca online store, which went online this Wednesday.
“Customers will find a thoughtful selection of home decor, toys, baby items, clothing and pet accessories, all offered in Zellers’ signature red and white decor,” the company’s press release reads.
