Bank of Montreal perhaps? City approved a bank for that area, but I thought it was going into the Village.
The relocated Smith's Home Hardware should be opening in a few weeks at the Village. I wonder what's going into their old lot. |
I would guess it's a new bank of Montreal. All the banks have been updating recently with drive- throughs. Leaves a sizeable space in the mall if that is the case.

I think the Village only still exists because the Avalon has such annoying parking. I think the only times I go there are when I can't be arsed to find a spot at the Avalon.

Not great. Especially with a drive-through. But I am glad to see the parking lots reduced.

Noticed in the news that Hudson's Bay Co. has expressed interest in some of the vacated Target locations. I wonder if they ever consider coming to Newfoundland? Would be nice.
|
Was at Avalon Mall the other day and noticed that construction is goin on at the former Eddie Baur store. Hopefully it's not another lingerie store.
|
FYI. The new Home Hardware Store in the Village Mall is now opened. It's more spacious than I thought it would be. Weird seeing that part of the Village parking lot filled with cars again.

Lowes has bought 13 former Target stores in Canada, I wonder if ours is one of them. I don't know how many home improvement stores we can support but it never hurts to have another option and further competition.
|
Was wondering that too if Lowes would build right next door to Kent and with Rona just down the road. Rather see it become a Hudsons Bay as they have expressed interest in some of the Target locations too.

On another note, I read that Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire are also buying up old Target stores. Again, another unlikely scenario for that location. |
Though Lowes did say in the news article they were looking at locations to expand where they didn't already have stores so you never know.
From the press release...Although declining to list the specific locations until the deal officially goes through, Lowe's said it will be opening new stores in markets where it is currently "under-penetrated" since opening up shop in Canada in 2007. Its prob too small for a Walmart super centre and Canadian Tire prob would have grabbed it up if they hadn't built that new store on Hebron Way. Quote:

New business approved by the city on Peet Street - Marijuana for Trauma !
|
The City is really grasping for any good economic news...lol. Probably just another small business that will go up in smoke.

London Ont announced as the first of the new IKEA Drop-in stores, opening late fall. Several other locations to be announced Thursday. If we can't have a full store in St. John's, this would be a start. Here's hoping.
