Zellers announces menu items for reopening in Canada

When Zellers relaunches this spring, there won’t be an in-store restaurant but now we know what food will be offered at their so-called Diner on Wheels, which is essentially a food truck.

The discount retailer asked Canadians to give their input and the five featured menu items will be: the Biz Z Burger, hot chicken sandwich, grilled cheese, chicken fingers and fries and gravy.

“Although an in-store diner just isn’t possible, Zellers is mobilizing a fleet of food trucks to greet customers at its first locations,” the nostalgic Canadian company says in a statement. “Following the initial stops at the store locations… the Zellers Diner on wheels will gear up to head out for its cross-Canada debut.”

Tour dates and locations for that have yet to be announced. The discount retailer also has yet to announce an actual date for its comeback.

When Zellers finally re-enters the retail market, it will be in the form of in-store kiosks in The Bay and with a website that is said to include a marketplace component.

The first wave of the ‘store within a store’ concept will be popping up in seven different provinces across the country. The locations are expected to open sometime in the spring, though an exact opening date has not been given.

HBC says there will be anchor categories at the launch, including houseware and home décor, furniture, small appliances, toys, and pet accessories. It’s also promising its list of items will grow and eventually include clothing.
