Saskatoon location to continue operating
Hudson's Bay says it will not renew the expiring lease for its Regina store in the Cornwall Centre, opting instead to permanently close the location in April 2025.
The store was closed temporarily on April 10 after someone deliberately lit a clothing rack on fire.
Fire department Deputy Chief Dustin McCullough said at the time that there was significant smoke and water damage in the store.
The store has since reopened.
According to a Hudson's Bay spokesperson, the fire did not factor into the decision to not renew the lease. They said in an email that these decisions are made "after careful consideration and lengthy review."
As for employees of the store, the spokesperson wrote, "We are committed to treating every associate with respect and fairness through this process, and transfer opportunities will be explored where feasible."
Hudson's Bay's Saskatoon location will continue to operate, the spokesperson said.
