PROFILE |
 |
This old moose is still strong. Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) is Canada's largest department store chain, grabbing 40% of all domestic department store sales. It's also Canada's oldest corporation: It was founded in 1670 as a fur trading enterprise. (The chain's coat of arms features two moose and four beavers.) HBC's Zellers chain is Canada's #2 discount department store (behind Wal-Mart), with more than 330 stores. Zellers accounts for about 60% of HBC's sales. HBC also runs about 100 Bay department stores, more than 100 smaller Fields apparel stores in Western Canada, about five Home Outfitters, and an e-commerce site. HBC acquired Kmart Canada in 1998, converting about 60 of Kmart's 112 stores into Zellers' outlets.
