Zellers is back! It will open inside Hudson’s Bay at St. Vital Shopping Centre.


Most of Zellers ended in Canada in 2011 with the arrival of Target which took over most of the locations in the country. Some boutique Zellers have popped up in recent years but this latest push in 2023 are stores ranging from 8000 to 10,000 square feet. It is unknown how big the store in Winnipeg will be.

You’ll be able to shop online at zellers.ca, as well as 25 locations (to start) within select Hudson’s Bay stores across Canada:

  • BC: Abbotsford, Kamloops, Surrey, Vancouver
  • AB: Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat
  • SK: Saskatoon
  • MB: Winnipeg
  • ON: Burlington, Cambridge, Kingston, London, Mississauga, Ottawa, Scarborough, St Catharines
  • QC: Anjou, Gatineau, Québec, Rosemère, Sherbrooke
  • NS: Dartmouth, Sydney

An opening date has not been set, but expect to see Zellers make its return sometime in 2023.
