The design of the Portage Place street-fronting CRU was flawed from the start. The reason most of the street entrances are no longer used is the spaces ended up lacking the backroom space almost every CRU uses. Further, the dual entrances created theft and overall security issues for the retail. Look at Shoppers that is still relatively new to Portage Place. They tried to due the street entrance correct and have a cashier stationed right there. That didn't last very long before it went back to permanently closed.
In terms of TNSE and their location for an MTS Centre replacement downtown, that is clearly why The Bay is still holding on to the thin premise that they are operating a store downtown.
