A Minnesota senior who drove seven hours to stock up on items at a Hudson’s Bay store is ‘grieving’ the potential loss of the iconic chain.
The Bay filed for creditor protection last week. Then, on Friday night, it announced it will begin liquidating its entire business as soon as next week, pending court approval.
Corey Gordon and his wife, Lori, decided to drive from St. Paul to Winnipeg on a whim that night, arriving at about 3 a.m. Saturday. They had heard about the Bay seeking creditor protection but, while travelling, missed the news that Canada’s oldest retailer will “undergo full liquidation” unless an “alternative solution” is found.
