TORONTO — Hudson's Bay is headed into its last weekend of liquidation sales with its Toronto flagship teeming with shoppers looking for one last treasure from the department store.
Even before the Yonge Street location opened Friday, scores of shoppers waited in front of the doors, strategizing how to find the best deal.
When they made it inside, they found $10 Levi's jeans for men, $5 corsets for women and $15 pajama sets.
There were also plenty of furniture and fixtures for sale, including plastic fruit, stacks of woven baskets and row upon row of mannequins.
Shopper Alysha Robinson considered herself lucky to have snagged decorative white and gold pumpkins and Easter eggs she will use for displays at her cannabis store, but said it was sad to see store shelves so empty.
All 80 Hudson's Bay stores and 13 under its Saks banners are due to close by Sunday.

Over 700 Calgarians go for a Dog Jog to support Humane Society
Dog lover Richard Preece took part in the 24th Annual Dog Jog to support the Calgary Humane Society Saturday at North Glenmore Park North Glenmore Park was full of hundreds of dogs and dog lovers Saturday, who showed up to support the Calgary Humane Society at its 24th annual Dog Jog. The event raised over $200,000 for the Humane Society, said vice executive director Brad Nichols. 'It's really one of our signature fundraisers for humane society in general, and it's been centered around the mandate of ending animal cruelty at this point," said Nichols. 'We don't receive any government funding whatsoever,' he added. 'So, you know, (it's) difficult to run a complex department like that on zero government dollars, but we managed to make it happen because of the strong support that we get from Calgary.' Dog lover Richard Preece was there with his family. 'We used to come years ago with me and my wife, and we just haven't come out since we had kids, and we thought they were old enough to come to their first one,' he said. 'We have another dog we adopted from Humane Society, and have always thought they were good organization. And, you know, it's just a lot of fun -- and it's good for the dogs.' Sharlene Elford was there, too, with her daughter Brook and her dog Gus. 'We wanted to raise awareness for animal cruelty and participate in get outdoors and exercise,' Sharlene said. 'Seeing all the different types of dogs is really cool. There's a lot of dogs here.' For more information about the Calgary Humane Society, go here.
