Most Remaining 'Zellers' Outlets Will Close

It could cost thousands of people their jobs. The Hudson's Bay Company has decided to close most of its 64 remaining Zellers stores in Canada. Other Zellers stores are being converted to new Target stores after the U-S chain bought them up. The closures will throw 64 hundred people out of work. It's not known how or if this announcement may affect the Bridgewater Zellers location. The South Shore location employs approximately 30 to 40 people. No date has been given for the closures, but the stores won't be open beyond next March. A Bay official says each the stores just aren't considered viable.
