[QUOTE="klein, post: 699056, member: 23950"] For those of you that have ever visited Canada : Eatons (which was once Canada's largest department store chain), is gone since 1999. However, Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary still have malls named after it, even though they no longer exist (called Eaton Centers). Even in Edmonton, the new name of the downtown mall (city center mall) hasn't really caught on yet. Most still call it the Eaton Center. Woodwards, another huge department chain, also went under. But, yet, still has roots in Vancouver where it all began. The store no longer exist, but the building is now a historic site, and they finally added the huge "W" sign (newly manufactured), back where it belongs. see: [URL]http://www.miss604.com/2010/01/woodwards-w-rises-again.html[/URL] And, just like you, we lost Woolworth as well. `The Bay` the oldest Department Store in North America !, ( started from fur trading ), full name `Hudson Bay Company`, was sold to a Mr. Zuckermann : On 16 July 2008, it was announced that Hudson's Bay Company (the parent company of the Bay) had been purchased by the US firm [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NRDC_Equity_Partners&action=edit&redlink=1"][COLOR=#ba0000]NRDC Equity Partners[/COLOR][/URL], which owns [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_%26_Taylor"][COLOR=#002bb8]Lord & Taylor[/COLOR][/URL]. The new combined [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_corporation"][COLOR=#002bb8]multinational corporation[/COLOR][/URL] is called [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson%27s_Bay_Trading_Company"][COLOR=#002bb8]Hudson's Bay Trading Company[/COLOR][/URL] It still does exist... actually, the only, official supplier of Olympic Clothing (no where else can you buy it, other then `the Bay`! But, it`s American owned now. [/QUOTE]
