Because the retail industry has experienced rapid and significant change over the last several years,;Call It Spring already had plans to transition towards a more robust digital presence in the U.S.; however, that timeline was accelerated due to the pandemic, he said. Shifting to an online experience allows us to better serve our customers by being where they are online at , said Emmanuel Amzallag, SVP of Call It Spring.

Naturalizer Shoes To Close All Canadian Stores
Footwear brand Naturalizer, a division of St. Louis-based Caleres Inc., will shut its Canadian stores early next year after the US company announced a restructuring last week. In total, 133 of Naturalizers stores will shutter in North America with more than 60 of those locations being in Canada. Two US stores will remain open including a flagship on 34th Street in New York City as well as a store at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
In Canada, Naturalizer operates stores in shopping centres and outlet centres in major markets spanning from British Columbia to Newfoundland. The Greater Toronto Area and Montreal area have the greatest concentration of Naturalizer stores in Canada. Mall landlords will again have to grapple with filling vacated space after a wave of permanent store closures following a challenging retail environment that included store shutdowns in the spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In its third-quarter earnings conference call, Caleres Inc. announced that it would shutter 133 of the brands legacy stores in the United States and Canada by the end of the fiscal year. The plan is to grow Naturalizers e-commerce business through its online platform and via its retail partners websites.
Make no mistake, we continue to view the Naturalizer brand as a strong and value-driving component of our portfolio, said Chairman, President, and CEO Diane Sullivan.
Hudsons Bay In A Challenging Situation As Stores Shutter
We reported last month that the Hudsons Bay Company was being sued by landlords for not paying rent, while HBC alleges that mall landlords are not meeting contractual obligations to keep properties top-notch during the pandemic. It appears that HBC hasnt paid rent since April for at least 20 of its 89 stores in Canada and that it is paying rent for some locations under duress.
The situation has taken an interesting turn. Over the weekend at least two Hudsons Bay stores in Canada were shut due to landlord lockouts. In the Vancouver suburb of Coquitlam, landlord Morguard locked Hudsons Bay out of its premises at Coquitlam Centre and a Bay store at Centrepoint Mall in Toronto was also shut briefly and the store is now open for curbside pickup.
On Hudsons Bays website, the retailer notes that it is no longer accepting returns or exchanges at its Les Jardins Dorval location in suburban Montreal. The same notice states that returns are no longer being accepted at Hudsons Bays downtown Winnipeg and downtown Edmonton stores both of which are confirmed to be closing. One analyst said they expect a store closing announcement for the Dorval store, which opened in 1954 as an upscale Morgans department store.
After publishing this Brief Monday evening, Hudsons Bay provided a statement to Retail Insider about the closures and the fact that the Queen Street flagship store wont be open Tuesday.
