Canada 's oldest retailer, Hudson’s Bay , has filed for creditor protection and intends to restructure the business.

The department store company that dates back to 1670 announced the move Friday evening .

The company said it has been facing “significant” pressures, including subdued consumer spending, trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada .

The process can lead to the sale or closure of a business.

Some Neiman Marcus staff were laid off last week as the company prepared to consolidate its U.S. office space and cut the banner’s Dallas flagship.

Simons, the 185-year-old dry-goods-shop-turned-department-store-chain, is in growth mode with a $75-million expansion plan.
