The Zellers-comeback has begun with 12 stores opening across Alberta and Ontario on March 23.

Parent company Hudson’s Bay Co. (HBC) closed most Zellers stores in 2013, with only two hanging on until 2020. The new 10,000-square-foot Zellers locations are within Hudson’s Bay stores, and another 13 will be phased in across the country.
