SAKS FIFTH AVENUE’S FIRST MONTREAL STORE TO OPEN IN 2018

Hudson’s Bay Company will open its first Saks Fifth Avenue location in Montreal, to be located within the historic Hudson’s Bay on Boulevard de Maisonneuve, in fall 2018.  The Hudson’s Bay store will remain open during the extensive renovations.

The approximately 200,000 square-foot, multi-level store — which will be the largest Saks Fifth Avenue store in Canada — will offer customers a significant assortment of menswear as well as a full service Fifth Avenue Club, complete with private suites and personal shopping consultants, and a Quebec-themed Saks Fifth Avenue food hall.

“We are excited to bring the distinctive Saks Fifth Avenue experience to Montreal, which has long been a destination for fashion in Canada,” commented Marc Metrick, president, Saks Fifth Avenue. “Shoppers here are known for their impeccable style and we’re confident that Saks’ superior designer merchandise and exemplary customer service will be as well-received here as it has been across Canada.”

“The reimagining of our iconic Montreal location is a significant milestone in the evolution of our Hudson’s Bay store, given the importance of the Quebec customer to our business,” stated Liz Rodbell, president, Hudson’s Bay and Lord & Taylor. “In today’s digital world, our store experience is paramount in our mission to entertain and delight our customers. This renovation will keep Hudson’s Bay central to our customers’ shopping experience for years to come.”
