    TL;DR/The Short Version: One of the few department stores…read moreleft in Montreal. I like the pretty displays and the large selection of products. The Long Version: Full Disclosure: my rating is heavily influenced by nostalgia. I love The Bay (called La Baie in the province of Quebec). It's a Canadian department store. To be accurate, it was called The Bay from 1965-2013 (La Baie in Quebec 1972-2013). In 2013 they rebranded to Hudson's Bay/Baie d'Hudson, which I suppose brings it back to the original name of it's first store in 1881 (in Winnipeg, not this one in Montreal) which had the same name as its parent company: The Hudson's Bay Company. However, in my heart it will always be The Bay. When they rebranded, they dropped the stylized B and the yellow script for a more block letter logo in black. The stylized B in yellow script is the logo of The Bay from my childhood, so I'm so happy that this La Baie location in downtown Montreal has retained it. This location has a Coach store inside it and was where I bought my first Coach bag so many moons ago (my first bag that cost more than $30, lol). This location has also been the site of FAO Schwartz pop-up stores, where Canadians can get items from the legendary American toy store. Growing up there were so many department stores, but the likes of Eaton's and Simpsons have long closed. So I'm happy that The Bay is still around. Their regular prices are quite high, but they often have sales where their items are marked down. Those of a certain vintage will remember "The Bay Scratch and Save Days" where they gave out scratch cards (like the scratch lottery cards, lol) and you could get 10%-50% off your purchase. If you are sensitive to scents, you may want to skip their fragrances section on the main floor. Walking through is very much like those typical scenes in movies of department stores where beauty counter workers spray perfume on customers, although they don't spray it directly on you like in the movies, they spray strips of paper and give them customers. But that first floor is olfactory overload! Lol. The flagship Bay store in Toronto is my favourite, but this location in Montreal comes in second :) Review #14 (2025)

    Went to La Baie to look for some perfumes for my nieces...the cosmetics department is huge....so…read moremany options, so many choices. La Baie is probably the largest department store in downtown Montreal and at night is nicely lit up. Hudson's Bay (French: La Baie d'Hudson) is a Canadian luxury goods department store chain. It is the flagship brand of the Hudson's Bay Company, the oldest and longest-surviving company in North America as well as one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the World. Founded on 2 May 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company opened its first department store in 1881 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The chain operated under the company name before being rebranded to The Bay in 1965. As of August 2021, Hudson's Bay operates 86 locations in seven Canadian provinces. The full-line department stores focus on high-end fashion apparel, accessories, and home goods; flagship stores carry a bigger range and selection of goods than typical locations. The flagship stores are often multi-story, historic buildings and are located in Canada's largest cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa). So this one in Montreal is multi-story and you can spend hours browsing through all the different departments. Well stocked and well lit, it's a nice place to shop.

    Came here for the first time on Wednesday December 18, 2024 in the morning. This is a relatively…read morenew business to the area - coming from Montreal, we like to shop in Vermont and this happens to be on our way as it is close to Walmart in the area. This is a discount store that offers a bit of everything - there are many home decor items, bedding, accessories, some shelf stable foods, toys, clothing, beauty products and knick knacks. The closest thing I can compare it to is Ollie's (there is one in Plattsburgh). I found the store to have a decent selection, but the overall vibe was very messy, dusty and kind of "low class". The clothing or toy selection are of poor quality. Immediately I thought Ollie's was better. I wandered in every aisle and there weren't any major deals to be found. I was looking for something specific advertised in the store flyer but even after searching and asking for help from employees, no one could find this item. Lots of unopened boxes of stock and stuff just piled everywhere. My favorite section was the beauty products area - There are soaps/body washes/lotions that you would not find in a regular store. For example, Dove or Johnson's products that come from another country. I am not sure how they arrived to the USA but these are versions of products normally sold abroad. If you check the labels you'll be surprised! Some stuff was made in Italy. I think this is the type of place you have to check back often for deals - we walked away with some soaps and toothpaste, there were 5 packs of Colgate tubes for less than $3 which was a steal but otherwise couldn't find anything else that really interested us.

    I was in the store this week and the manager was loudly reprimanding an employee which felt…read moreunprofessional and awkward honestly. She complained that she shouldn't have to move carts in the parking lot because she's the manager and apparently too good to do that. How rude. I felt bad for the employee and will not be back. You'd think for a new store the manager would be more welcoming.
