When Hudson’s Bay closes the vast majority of its stores in June, the job losses will extend beyond the storied retailer’s own workforce.

Canadians working for salons, spas and other service providers located within the Bay and its sister stores Saks Fifth Avenue and Saks Off Fifth stand to lose their jobs, along with staff hired directly by some brands to preside over beauty counters, jewelry departments or fashion boutiques throughout the stores.
