In 1969, Hudson’s merged with Dayton Co. of Minneapolis, creating Dayton Hudson Corp...

that merger was the end of Hudson's....they also were the first big named store to build at Northland Mall, one of the first in the country. Hudson's basement was for those that couldn't afford the merchandise on the other floors. When most mens shirts cost 3-5 dollars, I bought my hubby to be one at Hudsons, cost 13.00, in 1959. No escalators all elevators run by people. You would hear "Going up" or Going down. But at Christmas their windows were famous in the city...
