Hudson's Bay and subsidiaries change names to numbered companies
New court documents filed overnight show the retailer and its subsidiaries have been renamed as numbered companies.
A website for the court monitor appointed to guide the retailer through creditor protection said that the company and its subsidiaries had been given various names beginning with Rupert Legacy on Aug. 8.
Rupert Legacy was a reference to Prince Rupert, the Bay's first governor, and Rupert's Land, a vast swath of wilderness Hudson's Bay was given control over in 1670, when it began as a fur trading business.
Retailer spokesperson Tiffany Bourré says the Rupert Legacy name was a placeholder it used before making the switch to numbered companies.
The department store had to make the change as a condition of an agreement it signed with Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. to sell its name and trademarks for $30 million.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 13, 2025.

Gavin Newsom's Latest Role: Social Media Troll
Just a few months ago, the X account run by Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office was pushing out anodyne content that was barely noticed in the social media landscape. It touted Mr. Newsom's effort to improve vocational education in California. It announced that a new steel mill was breaking ground. It assured Californians that the state was preparing for incoming winter storms. It was official, routine and easily overlooked. In other words, as President Trump might say, SAD! No more. Last week, the account morphed into a Democratic imitation of Mr. Trump's Truth Social musings, hyping Mr. Newsom as 'AMERICA'S MOST FAVORITE GOVERNOR.' Dismissive nicknames, grandstanding boasts and long, winding tangents ARE WRITTEN IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. They are peppered with an inordinate number of exclamation points!!! Perhaps most strikingly, the posts have been written in a scathing tone and at times have been intentionally offensive. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
