Just caught this on CTV news. Will they have serious sales?, I was in The Bay in Mic Mac Mall recently and it seems they were thining out on inventory. ** No wonder - they've been selling their top name brands on some sort of "sale" since before Christmas, Patton. I'm talking $70 off of some $200 shoes... close to their cost. Same goes for their leisure wear and suits - 60% off of some pants, shirts & sweaters too. Ever since the word started to spread about Zellers being sold to Target, HBC (no longer Canadian-owned for some time) has lost faith in something... or people have lost faith in them. Bottom line? I think they're history. My guess would be that the Dartmouth Mic Mac location would stock up on surplus merchandise from the Halifax store for a while, and expect the sales to continue - until they run out and become a clearance centre for other Bay stores.
