Where have all the department stores
gone? We recall that when we first moved to Burlington
in the early 1960’s, there were many department stores in the
area where we could shop for all that we needed.
In Hamilton, there were Robinson’s, The Right House,
Eaton’s, Simpsons, Zellers, Kresge’s and Woolworth, to name
a few. In addition were some smaller chains of family owned
and operated stores, including Eames, whose owners were
Burlingtonians. They had a store located in the former Skyway
Plaza.
When Burlington Mall opened, you could shop at Simpsons–
Sears and Robinson’s, and buy your groceries at the Dominion
Store, and in the mid 1970’s, Eaton’s opened their Burlington
location. These stores carried a wide variety of merchandise
at very competitive prices. The staff were knowledgeable,
courteous and went out of their way to assure your satisfaction.
Your purchases were guaranteed, or your money was cheerfully
refunded.
If required, many offered free home delivery, while Simpson’s
and Eaton’s sent out beautifully illustrated catalogues to
their customers, several times during the year. You could
order any item with a simple phone call. I know that our
children really looked forward to our receiving the annual
Christmas catalogues, to browse through and come up with
their “Christmas Wish List”, which of course was a big help
for parents. Service was the order of the day, and the customers
always came first.
