The enterprise continued as the Fur Trade Department, and then the Northern Stores Division of Hudson's Bay Company.

After the conquest of New France by the British in 1763, French traders founded the North West Company and continued expanding their fur trade into the Canadian interior.

The competition with the Hudson's Bay Company led to a massive environmental impact with numerous fur trade posts being built, the interior of Canada being explored, and the beaver population being exhausted.

It also operates two offices in the United States cities of Anchorage, Alaska, and Boca Raton, Florida.
