Towers Department Stores Sticky Post-it Note Pad
Product Details & Size Guide
Add a small reminder of Canadian retail history to a desk with this Towers Department Stores sticky note pad. Towers began its Canadian chapter in Scarborough in 1960, and its story grew to include licensed departments, service counters, grocery pairings, and a Quebec identity that later became Bonimart. The company’s changing names and the 1991 move of many stores to the Zellers banner offer plenty to discuss while planning a day or noting a collector’s latest discovery. A practical keepsake for fans of familiar Canadian businesses.
Towers began as a New York-based chain and entered Canada when its first Canadian store opened on November 15, 1960, in Scarborough, Ontario. In March 1962, a group of Towers concessionaires incorporated as Allied Towers Merchants Ltd. After Towers Marts went bankrupt in 1963, Allied Towers Merchants purchased the 13 Canadian stores, first acquiring 43 percent of the outstanding shares and later gaining full control. In Quebec, the chain traded as Towers during the 1960s. In April 1971, Oshawa Group began changing the Quebec stores’ name to Bonimart, a program intended to promote the French character of its provincial subsidiaries. Towers departments operated as licensed concessions; some stores also included restaurants, photo labs, pharmacies, or paired grocery stores. In October 1990, Hudson’s Bay Company purchased the 51 Towers and Bonimart stores, intending to merge them with Zellers. In April 1991, 47 stores adopted the Zellers banner; other locations held closeout sales under their original names, in some cases into fall 1991. The Bonimart trademark belongs to Sobeys, successor to Oshawa Group. Ownership of the Towers name is unclear.
