Hudson’s Bay Company is closing its downtown Winnipeg office two months earlier than announced due to pandemic restrictions.
In October, the company said it was due to close in February due to the “change in consumer behavior”. But on Monday, a spokesperson for the retailer confirmed that the doors are officially closed on November 30.
“In light of the recently announced restrictions on non-essential retail by the government of Manitoba, we have decided to close this location,” said spokeswoman Tiffany Bourré.
The company said it will continue to serve Winnipeggers at its Polo Park and St. Vital locations, as well as online.
“The historic building has been a landmark in Winnipeg for generations and we continue to strive to work with partners to find opportunities for this place that will have a positive impact on the community,” said Bourré.
The Hudson’s Bay Company building on the corner of Portage Avenue and Memorial Boulevard opened on November 18, 1926. In recent years, only two of the building’s six floors were open to customers.
