A beloved Canadian name is stepping back into the spotlight. Zellers, once the cornerstone of affordable family shopping, is making a long-awaited return—this time redesigned for a new generation of shoppers. The first revived location opens its doors in Edmonton, promising a mix of nostalgia and modern convenience.
Gone are the cavernous department stores of the past. Instead, the new Zellers embraces a smaller, smarter format, offering apparel, home essentials, and seasonal goods—all centered on one timeless principle: value. Chief Operating Officer Joey Benitah says the goal is to preserve Zellers’ heart while updating its rhythm.
More stores are expected to follow across Canada as Zellers rebuilds its presence with community partnerships, familiar family brands, and fresh design energy. It’s not just a comeback—it’s a reintroduction of a Canadian classic reimagined for today’s shopper.
