With the much-anticipated return of Zellers stores set to happen this spring, many Canadians are curious about the fate of the retail chain’s popular family restaurants. Well, never fear because Hudson’s Bay Co. (HBC) has revealed that the Zellers dining experience will be back, but in a different form.
When the first round of new stores open inside The Bay locations, shoppers will be greeted by food trucks that will serve a list of classic items from the original menu. The company says that a full return of the original restaurants is not feasible in the new 10,000 square foot store-within-a-store concept.
If the food trucks receive a positive response from customers, HBC plans to take them on a cross-country tour. The dates and locations for the tour will be announced at a later time. Customers will have a chance to vote on what items will be served from the classic Zellers menu.
On Instagram, Zellers Official shared this:
“That’s right – you want it, you got it. Whether you called it The Skillet or Zellers Family Restaurant back in the day, we’re comin’ in hot. From time-honoured classics to brand-new bites, a select menu will be cooked up and dished out of our custom Zellers Diner food trucks for a throwback event this spring! Head to our Instagram Story and vote for your top 5 favourite items for the new menu.”
