In quebec petro canada was forced by the competition bureau to divest thier downstream assets to ultramar Posted by abacab 3/5/2007 1:17 PM | remove   Yeah, I remember watching the Gulf tank farm in Ottawa coming down in the summer of '85. In '87 I explored the abandoned office/maintenance building before it was replaced by Superior Propane and later Costco. Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! 3/5/2007 4:25 PM | remove   remember the towers store near the welcominn on st laurent. did it ever become a zellers? the building still resembles the zellers stores on viau in montreal and in chateauguay Posted by abacab 3/6/2007 12:49 AM | remove   Yep, I worked there shortly after the takeover in 1991. There used to be a Loblaws next to it that partially became a Fabricland. The vacant portion of the Loblaws was secretly part of the lease to Zellers, but no one from head office knew about it. We used to store stuff in it, and whenever I got the keys, I would explore the stockroom wich was all dark and spooky. There were the old changerooms and washrooms for Loblaws back there that hadn't been used in years as well as old fixtures and signs from the 70's and 80's. I was gone by '93, and Value Village took over the entire Loblaws site. Zellers closed after merging with KMart Canada and was transformed into a gov't office with a new tower built in the old parking lot.
