The six Hudson's Bay department stores in Ontario and Quebec that were spared from closure have found their reprieve to be only temporary.Hopes for retaining these locations to potentially continue a seamless, downsized existence of the iconic Canadian retailer, which was first founded 354 years ago as a fur trading business, have now faded.This, it seems, is where the curtain finally falls on an era of a storied company.In a new court filing that has yet to be published at the time of writing, the six store locations added to the liquidation and imminent closure list now include the heritage downtown Toronto flagship store at 176 Yonge St., the Yorkdale Shopping Centre store in Toronto, and the Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill, Ontario.In Quebec, the remaining locations that will close include the heritage downtown Montreal flagship store at 585 Saint-Catherine St. W., CF Carrefour Laval mall, and CF Fairview Pointe-Claire mall.Liquidation at these six remaining locations will b...
