Welcome back, Zeddy Bear!
Nostalgic Canadian retailer Zellers is continuing its national expansion with a brand-new store opening this week at Cambridge Centre. Following the success of its standalone location in Toronto earlier this year, the iconic department store is getting ready to welcome visitors to its newest 25,000-square-foot footprint starting Thursday, November 12.
From trendy lifestyle essentials and home decor to toys, apparel, and classic snacks, you’ll get to browse through a curated selection of everyday finds and even spot the retailer’s signature bright red sports car kiddie ride right inside the store.
Just in time for the holidays, the adorable Zeddy Bear plushie will also be available on shelves across all locations, offered as both a classic plush bear and a collectible keychain starting November 12.
To celebrate opening weekend in Cambridge, the store is hosting festive, carnival-style fun for the whole family from Thursday through Sunday. Little ones can enjoy free face painting and balloon animals, shoppers can grab complimentary popcorn with purchase, and the first 100 people through the doors will snag an exclusive Zeddy keychain. You can also catch the official ribbon-cutting ceremony and snap a picture with Zeddy the mascot himself.
In addition to Cambridge, Zellers has already confirmed two more Ontario outposts slated for 2027 at Shoppers World Brampton and Malvern Town Centre in Scarborough, with an opening date for Windsor’s Tecumseh Mall expected to be announced soon.
The Cambridge Centre Zellers will officially open its doors on Thursday, November 12 at 10 a.m., with opening weekend festivities running through Sunday, November 15.
