Zellers is making a comeback.

Hudson’s Bay Co. will debut a new Zellers e-commerce website and expand to select Hudson’s Bay department stores across Canada early next year.

The Zellers department store was founded in 1931 and acquired by HBC in 1978. Zellers peaked in late 1990’s with 350 locations.

No word if Zeddy will return, or if the lowest price is still the law.

After a slight drop at the gas pumps Wednesday, another drop is expected today, bringing the provincial average to 160.9 cents per litre.

Peterborough will still have the cheapest at 156.9 cents per litre, and the most expensive stays in Sudbury at 172.3 cents per litre.

This morning in Chatham-Kent it’s 164 cents per litre on average.

Today is the 14th annual Burgers to Beat MS Day at A&W.

A&W will donate $2 from every Teen Burger sold across Canada to support Canadians living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

You can also donate online at BurgersToBeatMS.ca or round up your purchase to the nearest dollar.

Since 2008 more than $17 million has been raised to support Canadians living with MS. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with over 90,000 Canadians living with this disease.
