On October 5th, the Hudson’s Bay Company filed a Statement of Claim in the Federal Court of Canada naming Defendants: Manuel Moniz, Maria Almerinda Moniz Sousa, Robert Moniz, Carlos Moniz, Zellers Canada Inc., Zellers Convenience Store Inc., Zellers Holdings Inc., Zellers Inc., and Zellers Restaurant Inc. The Hudson’s Bay Company recently got wind of the Moniz family’s efforts to take over the Zellers name. A Kmart store operates out of the main floor of this building at 62 Rue Augusta. The Moniz-owned Kmart store is now operational at 62 Rue Augusta, and again there is little information online about the store and its operations. This follows at least one member of the Moniz family going after the Hudson’s Bay Company last year by registering the name Kmart in Canada - the Hudson’s Bay Company bought Kmart’s Canadian operations in 1998 and converted most stores to Zellers banners. In April of this year, they opened a Zellers Express store on Augusta Street in Sorel-Tracy and oddly, there’s very little information online about where it is located or that it even exists. The Moniz family says that it is waiting for permits prior to opening the Zellers store in the coming days even although the municipality says nothing has been filed and that the building has to be demolished. Construction has been ongoing for weeks in a retail space formerly occupied by a book store, and one local sent Retail Insider a photo showing a Zellers-branded trailer outside of the new store. The second Zellers-branded store will open soon at 60 Hotel-Dieu in Sorel-Tracy.
