The fall of Hudson’s Bay Co., a Canadian retail icon
Declining department store traffic, a failed e-commerce strategy, stores in disrepair and mounting debts are all factors in the decline of Canada’s oldest retailer

^^^^^ I am surprised no one mentioned this. As many are aware, The Bay has not been doing well for several years. The Department Store is now under creditor protection. Apparently the company owes close to $1 billion to various creditors, suppliers like Ralph Lauren, Levis, and many others, owe money in rent to various landlords, etc.. The Bay would be the last department store. This brings back the ghost of Eatons. I myself shopped regularly from The Bay. I bought all my socks, underwear, appliances, and dress pants from The Bay. But the last two years I hardly bought anything. The merchandise became so limited, they stopped selling 100% wool classic fit dress pants, I had to go elsewhere. Clothes also became uninteresting. This is the end of an era. Sad to see it go.
