The approximately 25,000-square-foot store will carry clothing, home products, toys, gifts, seasonal merchandise, snacks and everyday essentials. Shoppers can also expect new products to be added over time as the retailer responds to customer feedback.
If you remember the familiar Zellers kiddie rides, there’s something returning for younger shoppers too. The Cambridge location will feature a bright red sports car ride, similar to the one at the retailer’s Toronto store.
More Zellers Stores Planned for 2027
Alongside the Cambridge opening, Zellers has confirmed two additional Ontario locations for 2027:
- Shoppers World Brampton, Brampton: Approximately 25,000 square feet.
- Malvern Town Centre, Scarborough: Approximately 25,000 square feet.
Opening dates haven’t been announced. The company is also working toward opening its Windsor store at Tecumseh Mall, while discussions with landlords continue about further locations.
The expansion follows store openings at Edmonton’s Londonderry Mall in October 2025 and 80 Orfus Road in Toronto in June 2026.
Zeddy Bear Returns and Cambridge Opening Activities
There’s another familiar face returning on November 12. Zeddy Bear plush toys will be available across Zellers stores in two versions: a classic bear and a smaller keychain.
The retailer is also developing Zeddy’s World, where customers will eventually be able to customize bears with clothing and accessories. No launch date has been confirmed.
For the Cambridge opening, families can enjoy free balloon animals, children’s face painting and popcorn with purchase. Activities are scheduled for:
- November 12: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- November 13 to 15: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
The first 100 customers will receive an exclusive collectible Zeddy keychain. Joey and Isaac Benitah will also participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Zeddy mascot, who will be available for photos.
Joey Benitah, Zellers’ Chief Operating Officer, said the company is encouraged by customers’ response to its return.
“We’re continuing to listen to our customers, introduce new offerings and bring Zellers to more communities,” he said.
