Gosh their Rueben with fries and gravy. Me and my mom always used to go there at Square One in Mississauga as the food court was always way too busy and the diner was usually pretty dead. Great food, friendly waitresses. I miss it so...
@@collectibleasmr Omg yesss, the Reuben with fries. Loved that too. True the waitresses were always so friendly. It was good times for sure. I remember when The Bay had a fantastic cafeteria too.
Zellers 'rocked' in its day. A truly Canadian establishment. That store had lots of great stuff as long as it was in availability. Yes, you could find most of the popular products, clothes and everything else at Zellers. There was a certain respect for Zellers stores in that they had the goods you were looking for, even if you were a working or a retired Canadian. It was a store-of-choice back-in-the-day.
@@rowanberryjamproductions2500 I know. I hope they open a location near me. My city used to have 2 Zellers before they all closed down when I was a kid.
I loved Zellers(especially the Christmas ads). I used to watch the commercials with my Niece & Nephews, getting them amped up for Christmas and hoping to take them to see Zeddy at Zellers Toyland. Time moved on & they grew up. I never fulfilled that promise to them(I regret that), but I didn't break that same promise to my Son when He was young. We went several times to Zellers when we went over to Canada for Vacation(we even went to say goodbye to our Friends that worked there during their last week before closing). I got Him a Zeddy Bear & a few plastic bags for memories. Zellers was always a special place for me growing up. I always wanted to go there and I wanted the Kids to have those sentiments.🙂
Zellers was awesome. I remember the one at Fairview Shopping Center in Montreal. I have one bad memory though: One Saturday morning me, my brother and dad went to Zellers and witnessed a janitor cleaning window and fall over into the glass smashing it. He had bits of glass in his eyes Horrible to see as a six year old.
yes i found at the Zellers at StThomas (Elgin Mall everthing there was expensive :( my aunt susan worked for 3 years there( now Giant Tiger and Dollarama ) :)
@@IceManLikeGervin for a while many Zellers stores were converted to Target stores but most people were really unimpressed with the selection and prices.
well that slogan was wrong :( replaced by truly canadian better slogan got lawsuit for that dont miss this chain (StThomas store Elgin Mall) :( this is from the 80s and 90s too how odd (owened by Hudsons Bay )

This video is one never ending zellers commercial I remember at towers everything connects The last day of one sale is the first of the next I think zellers went te same route k mart and towars Bankrupt or brokesville sure at towers everything did Connect all the way to bankruptcy lol 😂 There used to be a towers at saint Lawrence village Right next to that shipping plaza right next to the apartments but that was back in 1972 before Towers went bankrupt towers had a cafeteria just like zellers I'll bet zellers is gone too like Kmart and towers The same thing happened in Canada that happened in America on line shopping put a large amount of shopping malls out if business there is still sawgrass Mills Mall here in Florida I saw the death of te Hollywood fashion center i think though that was due to the murder of Adam Walsh it saw their demise Now it's just an empty building sad but true I found out that county fair mall in fort Erie is now a hospital i love county fair mall you had a supermarket The great A&P and then you could kill time shopping In Zellers and eat in the cafeteria and you could go see a Movie at the garrison cinema there we saw Murder on the orient express with Albert Finney We saw young Frankenstein there nasty habits With Glenda Jackson the last Ovie i saw there was Young Frankenstein in1975 at garrison cinema
I miss the Zellers diner.
I always had grilled cheese with bacon. Side of fries!

Good news! Zellers is coming back either this year or next to 27 locations Canada wide. 9 of them in Ontario alone.
I wish Zellers was still here.
Did you hear BiWay is coming back?
FOR REAL. WALMART OUT, ZELLERS IN!
@@werthmelissa Yeah. I really hope they bring a location near me.
@@masoncarr2244 zellers are coming back early next year

Thinking about Zellers just made me feel old, but, hay my black Pyrex plates i bought in the late 80's from Zellers are still around so you know.
Exactly! LOL
Everything From A to Zed
Zellers lol. Got my BBQ from the shoppers world location before they shut er down. Still have it! It's excellent! 👍
I want that castle grayskull
Why was a VCR 597.00$? Crazy
And never mind what it would be with inflation.
@@robdoe8694 VCR's dropped in price a lot. Too bad cars didn't.
That 'stretch limo' at 2:13 is barely a town car
Zellars > Walmart
Walmart > Zellers (returning 2023)
Anyone else miss Zellers?
Me..
There reopen as an online store and pop up shop in shop

Damn. I was on the other side of the island at the other Zellers in Angrinion Mall.
Watching this in celebration after yesterday's announcement that Zellers is coming back!
Really! It's coming back!?
@@moon230686 kinda
@@moon230686 sorta.... fizzled
Finally it’s comin’ back! Let’s all make a pact to actually buy from it this time!
There only back as an online store and some pop up shop in shops and food trucks. Not like it was
But who knows maybe in there future we will get stand alone stores
Interesting to see how expensive electronics used to be! And wish I had some of those old toys. :)
The C64 disk drive was the most expensive component!
Electronics were from expensive and worth repairing to pure shit.
yes i found at the Zellers at StThomas (Elgin Mall everthing there was expensive :( my aunt susan worked for 3 years there( now Giant Tiger and Dollarama ) :)
I remember being a little kid in the 90's when our local Kmart got converted into a Zellers.
Love your channel, Retroontario and miss Zellers of course!!
The first retail victim of ticked off customers who were being sold Inferior Chinese quality products!
Now they are sold those same type of products by Walmart instead....which replaced Zellers in many locations.
@@IceManLikeGervin for a while many Zellers stores were converted to Target stores but most people were really unimpressed with the selection and prices.
@@robertsitch1415 True...
Still have my Club Z card.
Stores don't "beat" prices nowadays. They match them, if they even do that.
Lowest Price is the Law .. zellers probably the reason Scanning Code exsists these days ..
well that slogan was wrong :( replaced by truly canadian better slogan got lawsuit for that dont miss this chain (StThomas store Elgin Mall) :( this is from the 80s and 90s too how odd (owened by Hudsons Bay

Because the lowest price is the law! Dang I miss these days!
I miss Zellers. It was my favorite store with La Baie
Zellers 17th Ave and 52nd St SE
Getting rid of dollars for target was the worst thing Canada ever did to themselves
Target was pricing their things according to the American dollar instead of the Canadian dollar and that's why
Zed not zee. Zellers not zehrs.
She’s baaaaaaaaack 🎉🎉
where the lowest price was the law.
Its comimg back!!!
Bow wow wow i want candy theme from the zellers
Commercial
i used to steal so much shit from this place
lol
Thank you for sharing these amazing commercials! I rocked the red and grey when I worked there.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video is one never ending zellers commercial
I remember at towers everything connects
The last day of one sale is the first of the next
I think zellers went te same route k mart and towars
Bankrupt or brokesville sure at towers everything did
Connect all the way to bankruptcy lol 😂
There used to be a towers at saint Lawrence village
Right next to that shipping plaza right next to the apartments but that was back in 1972 before
Towers went bankrupt towers had a cafeteria just like zellers I'll bet zellers is gone too like Kmart and towers
The same thing happened in Canada that happened in America on line shopping put a large amount of shopping malls out if business there is still sawgrass Mills Mall here in Florida I saw the death of te Hollywood fashion center i think though that was due to the murder of Adam Walsh it saw their demise
Now it's just an empty building sad but true
I found out that county fair mall in fort Erie is now a hospital i love county fair mall you had a supermarket
The great A&P and then you could kill time shopping
In Zellers and eat in the cafeteria and you could go see a
Movie at the garrison cinema there we saw
Murder on the orient express with Albert Finney
We saw young Frankenstein there nasty habits
With Glenda Jackson the last Ovie i saw there was
Young Frankenstein in1975 at garrison cinema
What about the WWE commercial with Val Venis where he opens up with "Hello, Zellers."?
Hahha
Club Z and now Air Miles cards and other points cards.
Zellers and music section with cassettes
Yes!
Zellers restaurant had some of the most delicious food ever
