Simpson's 1960
In Quebec, there were five Simpson stores. Three of them - Anjou, Pointe-Claire and Laval - are now "la Baie" stores. The two others, in downtown Montreal and St-Bruno, were closed due to the presence of la Baie stores near them. La Baie in St-Bruno did however relocate to where Simpson was. The Robert Simpson Company, or Simpsons (Simpson's until 1972), was a Canadian department store chain, founded by Robert Simpson. The chain was eventually bought by the Hudson's Bay Company. The Hudson's Bay Company attempted to run Simpsons as a more upscale brand than its main brand, the Bay, but was unsuccessful. The Simpsons operations were merged with the Bay in 1989 in the province of Quebec, and 1991 in the rest of the country. Since then, all of the stores have either been converted to the Bay or been closed, and the Simpsons name is no longer used.
