TL:DR
Zellers, that throwback store from way back when, is making a comeback! New owners are dropping a new store in Edmonton, bringing the drip with affordable fits and home stuff. No cap, they're even bringing back Zeddy, the mascot, but hold up - no diner?! 😭
The Deets
Okay, fam, listen up! Zellers is trying to get back in the game with a fresh store opening at Londonderry Mall in Edmonton. We're talking a glow-up with all the affordable essentials for the family. Think clothes for everyone, home goods to level up your space, and luggage for that next trip. But, major L - no toys or meds, and that iconic diner? Ghosted! 💔
So, who's behind this resurrection? Turns out, a family that knows the retail game bought the Zellers name, logo, Zeddy (!!!), and all that jazz. They're playing it smart with a slow rollout, starting with the basics and expanding later. They're even aiming for smaller spots, like those old Hudson's Bay locations. 💅
As for the drip? Get ready for brands like Reebok, Spyder, Chaps, DKNY, Disney, Marvel, and even Nickelodeon! Plus, Zeddy's getting a major upgrade with a teddy bear version you can customize. And get this - they're planning a Zeddy partnership to help send kids with cancer to camp! That's a W move, no cap. 🙌
Even though the diner isn't part of this phase, they're hinting at future food and bev concepts. So, keep your eyes peeled, besties! 👀
ICYMI, Zellers was *the* spot back in the day, hitting its peak with almost 350 stores. Things got sus when Hudson's Bay took over, but now, they're trying to bring back the vibes. Will it slap? Only time will tell, fam!
