Here's what the first new Zellers stores in Ontario look like (blogTO)

The first of Canada's newly-resurrected Zellers locations are finally opening to the public this Thursday, March 23, in Ontario and Alberta, after ...

Zellers at The Bay is a whole new word compared to the big old strip mall box stores, but that's not a bad thing. Ditto for the aforementioned kids' ride, though there were plenty of cute kids toys, and even cuter pet toys, available to buy. How could I not?) [when it announced the reboot](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220817005155/en/Shoppers-Have-Something-to-Zelebrate%E2%80%A6-Zellers-to-Launch-First-Ever-Ecommerce-Site-and-Expand-Store-Footprint) in August, new Zellers will exist as a store-in-store model and "online shopping experience" that "taps into the nostalgia of the brand Canadians know and love" with "a refreshed identity and a unique and exciting product assortment for families at everyday value." While HBC announced that it would sell the leases for some 220 Zellers stores to the (now-defunct) Target Canada back in 2011, and went on to liquidate 64 more by 2013, the company still had one store in operation until 2020, in Etobicoke, Ontario. [last remaining standalone Zellers store in Canada](https://www.blogto.com/fashion_style/2019/08/toronto-will-soon-be-home-last-remaing-zellers-store-canada/) was shuttered. It's clear that The Hudson's Bay Company (which has owned Zellers since 1981) put a lot of thought, work and research into this relaunch, which comes just a few years after the [BiWay](https://www.blogto.com/fashion_style/2020/01/new-biway-store-finally-going-open-toronto-year/) or a Walmart, I'd say that new Zellers feels more like an American Target, or even an IKEA.

Zellers Cambridge reopening sparks wave of nostalgia (TheRecord.com)

Iconic restaurant gone, but greasy spoon menu returns with visiting food truck.

They had ‘Kids Eat Free’ every day and it was easier to go there than cook a lot of the time.” Ultimately, it had to do with changing times, the rise of U.S. “I’m very hopeful their return will be successful. It was a valid question.” behemoths like Walmart and Target moved in, saw the long-running Canadian discount chain implode like an egg in a microwave. “I can’t wait for the return of both the Zellers store and the food truck!” enthuses Kitchener resident Heather Kennedy, who shopped at Zellers for five decades, first as a kid with her mom in the ’70s, then as a mom with her now-27-year-old son, and worked in the store’s greasy spoon diner at Conestoga Mall in the early ’90s.

Zellers has been teasing its return and it's finally here, with the department store opening select locations in Ontario and Alberta.

Now, 10 years later, Zellers is making a comeback. But it won’t be precisely the way you remember. [it’s also making a comeback](https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/zellers-diner-menu-review).

Zellers relaunching 12 stores across Canada today — and nostalgia ... (CBC.ca)

A dozen Zellers locations are set to open across Canada on Thursday, a decade after the discount chain vanished from Canada's retail landscape.

Pricing will be based on what it calls a "rounded retail" strategy which means all items will be priced in round numbers like $1 — no extra cents added. Aversa says it's telling that, rather than launching standalones, the chain is building Zellers locations inside Bay stores. or potential consumers," she said. "Zellers already has the image in the marketplace as being a discounted retailer, whereas the Bay has the image of being a confused retailer that doesn't know what it is anymore," she said. Aversa says that speaks to how experimental the chain is being with its launch, and is clearly planning to cater to a sense of nostalgia since many of the former Zellers stores had sit-down restaurants inside them. The first dozen are set to officially open on Thursday — nine in Ontario and three in Alberta — in a move that retail analysts say faces an uphill climb in a tougher-than-ever retail landscape.

Zellers is back. First locations open Thursday, including in Cambridge (CityNews Kitchener)

Nine of the twelve stores opening on Thursday are in Ontario, including at Cambridge Centre.

The Zellers department store was founded in 1931 and bought over by HBC in 1978. Most Zellers retailers were closed by 2013, though HBC kept a handful of locations open as liquidation outlets until 2020. The company has said they expect all locations to open in the spring of 2023. Canadians were asked to vote in a poll to decide what would be included in this nostalgia-inspired food menu. It will be in Cambridge on Saturday, March 25. There will eventually be 25 locations in seven provinces across the country.
