They could have pivoted and gone to e-commerce, but no, they stuck with the department store model, despite everyone else failing at it. Evolve or die.

Someone will buy the name and it'll "have a comeback", but the real deal is dead. Sad, yes. Worth saving? No.

I'd rather the Eaton's name make a comeback than The Bay. A lot of the history that HBC is associated with isn't exactly positive.

History, is just that, History. It's neither good nor bad.
