Zellers To Pop Up In All Remaining Hudson’s Bay Locations

(TORONTO, ON) September 6, 2023 - It’s just too good to stop the pop! Today, Zellers announced it would pop up in all remaining Hudson’s Bay locations across the country, in time for the upcoming Holiday season. Currently, Zellers comprises 24 store-in-stores (and one more on the way) as well as22 pop ups that opened earlier this year. As previously announced, a new Zellers store-in-store will open at Bramalea City Centre in Brampton, ON, on Sept 27. With these additional pop ups, 78 Hudson’s Bay stores in Canada will now offer customers a Zellers experience.

Pop-up footprints will vary from store to store, ranging from 1,000 - 2,800sq ft (with the exception of Queen Street in Toronto) depending on location. Zellers stores within Hudson’s Bay range from 8,000 - 10,000 sq. ft. The pop-ups serve as strategic market tests to determine future Zellers store locations.

“We continue to see Canadians embrace Zellers, and are delighted by the experience of people discovering the amazing quality and style of the assortment we carry,” says Sophia Hwang-Judiesch, President of Hudson’s Bay. “As I’ve said before, pop-ups are a key ingredient in our expansion strategy, allowing us to explore and test in new markets and fine-tune our offering before establishing larger format store locations. Our customers are in the driver’s seat - they will tell us how and where to grow.”
