Insights

  • Hudson's Bay Company will liquidate its remaining six Hudson's Bay and one Saks Fifth Avenue stores, starting April 25.
  • These join other locations already in liquidation under CCAA.
  • Sales may be reversed if viable bids are received by April 30 via the ongoing SISP.
  • Most stores will close by June 15, 2025, with some shutting earlier.
Hudson’s Bay Company ULC (Hudson’s Bay or the Company), the Canadian entity comprising the retailer Hudson’s Bay and TheBay.com, will liquidate its remaining six Hudson’s Bay stores and one Saks Fifth Avenue location. At this time, the Company believes that a viable bid for the current six-store model is unlikely, and therefore will begin liquidation sales in these stores beginning Friday, April 25th. The remaining locations will join the 73 other Hudson’s Bay, 13 Saks OFF 5TH and two Saks Fifth Avenue locations already undergoing liquidation sales following the company’s filing under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA).

Should a bid be received in accordance with the Sale or Investor Solicitation Process (“SISP”), the Applicants retain the ability to withdraw these stores (or other stores) from the liquidation sale pursuant to, among others, the Amended and Restated SISP Order.

The current SISP process is still underway and remains unchanged. Reflect Advisors continues to solicit interest in, and opportunities for one or more sales of all or certain portions of the property, assets, and undertakings of the Company and/or an investment in, or refinancing of all or a portion of the business of the Company. The deadline for these submissions is April 30th.

The Hudson’s Bay and Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Canada are expected to operate no later than June 15, 2025, however, some may close earlier. Additionally, nine Saks OFF 5TH stores will close Sunday, April 27.

Hudson’s Bay extends its sincerest gratitude to its dedicated associates and loyal customers for their overwhelming support over the years and throughout this chapter.
