Some, nevertheless, questioned if it might probably recapture its previous glory, involved that the Big Z will probably be relegated to a small kiosk at Hudson Bay shops, with out the previous charms like its beloved lunch counter.
If Zellers returns, a so known as “kiosk” in a HBC retailer nook wont cut-it. To make it work, it have to be indepentantly run from mom earth HBC, its personal constructing, merch, restaurant, and Zellers employees, and three or 4 take a look at “market” shops. None of this Target stuff. That was a joke.
