Following Topshop’s bankruptcy last year, a partnership with new owner ASOS and Nordstrom will see the brand relaunch in Canada after parting ways with HBC.
This week Craig and Lee talk about the Hudson's Bay store which will be departing Bloor Street in downtown Toronto this year after nearly 50 years of operations. The shocking news will lead to big changes for Toronto's downtown core.
The massive bunker on Bloor was the retailer’s Canadian flagship location from 1974 to 1991. A major redevelopment of the Hudson's Bay Centre is now planned.
The historic flagship will see an office tower built above, a new transit interchange, and a new tech-heavy smaller store as Hudson's Bay looks to the future of retail.
