Hudson's Bay Company: The Oldest Corporations In The World

The Hudson’s Bay Company, a Canadian retail company created on May 2, 1670, is one of

the oldest corporations in the world that is still in existence today (Hudson Bay Company, 2015).

As of today, Hudson’s Bay Company has expanded their market into Germany, Belgium, and the

U.S (“About Us”, 2013). Some of Hudson’s Bay Company divisions include Galeria Kaufhof

which is a German based company, Hudson’s Bay, Home Outfitters, Lord and Taylor, and Saks

Fifth Avenue. In an article about HBC it is mentioned that “as of 2013, HBC operates 320 stores.”

In 2013, HBC changed its logo in an attempt to “acknowledge the company’s rich heritage and

role in Canadian History.” (Hudson’s Bay Company,
2015).
