Zellers is a former Canadian discount store chain, currently operating only one store location in Alberta, Canada. Originally founded by Walter P. Zeller in 1928 and closed two years later, it was relaunched in 1931. It was later acquired by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in 1978, and after a series of acquisitions and expansions, it peaked with 350 locations in 1999. However, fierce competition and an inability to adapt during the early stages of the retail apocalypse resulted in Zellers losing significant ground in the 2000s.

Valleyfair also has a water park called Soak City which is included with the price of admission. Cedar Point and Valleyfair were the first two parks in the Cedar Fair chain (although Cedar Point Amusement Park originally opened in 1870) and a combination of the park names – "cedar" and "fair" – were used to name the original company.
