Hi Kastel, We seem to inhabit the same threads. I was under the impression that Zellers was adding to their bottom line. Eatons has, once again, been a disaster. I feel rather clever because I was right on the money when I predicted their second demise. You just had to hear them talk about going upscale. Holt Renfrew can be upscale in a small store with a small clientele but the new Eatons was trying to be HR to the whole community. Timothy must have been spinning in his grave. He built Eatons by serving the working man. I stood outside the Bay one day and hardly a soul was going through the doors. Later I was going into Walmart and I counted thirty people just in front and behind me. It was like a river of people. Those are the people who used to shop Eatons and Eatons basement. They ate in Eaton's dining room--turkey and mashed potatoes and some veg and a dessert for a working man's wallet. Woodwords is gone, Eatons is gone and I wouldn't be surprised to see HBC retail gone. I thought Sears was doing pretty well until I talked to a clerk in one of their Wpg. stores. She was in despair.
