[Moncton] Retail Thread
In the spirit of Mike K, the website manager, it is probably time to start subdividing the Moncton thread into seperate sections. I have decided to start this process with a Moncton region retail thread. In the future, perhaps we should put all postings regarding Moncton retail news in this thread.
I will start out by reposting this item I just added to the Moncton general projects thread: Quote:

Further to the above, this is a previous posting by mmmatt which includes an image of the site plan for the Mapleton Power Centre which shows where the building housing PetSmart will be built.

One last thing, I noticed the other day that they were starting to lay down the foundation for the large building at the extreme eastern part of this development. No idea who the retailer will be, but a previous post quoting the T&T stated that it would be an "outlet" of some form:

I noticed yesterday, as MonctonRad stated, there is significant work being done on the area to the far right of the plan, machinery has been working in that area and now it's clears and a new base stone level has been laid down.

So are those the only 2 buildings currently under construction for this development? Is Cleves open yet? |

With regards to the remainder of your question, one of the strips backing on the Wheeler Blvd offramp has been completed (but empty) for some time. The large building at the east end of the development is now at the foundation stage. With the job listing for PetSmart, it would seem that the other building that will house them, Best Buy and Bed Bath & Beyond must be nearing construction. In other words, the majority of this development now appears to be on track. |

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7063/6...1c19c0eed9.jpg This is the Cleves/Golf Town building backing on Mapleton. It is nearing completion. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7187/6...2bc27d949e.jpg This is the original strip backing on the Wheeler offramp that was built before the original iteration of this development tanked during the recession. Presumably there are now some tenants lined up. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7182/6...ba011f7f92.jpg This is the land at the extreme east end of the development that required rezoning late last year. Grading is now complete and a foundation is now in place. |

Noticed as I drove by yesterday, they are starting to set "footings" in place for whatever structure is going in on the East end of the plan...moving right along. Notice that the lights are on in the Cleve's building and that the facades on Cleve's/Golf Town are almost done. |
It was in the T&T today that the new PlazaCorp strip mall in front of NBCC on Mountain Road will soon be under construction.
The building will have three units and although official details about tenants have not been released, apparently the building has already been fully leased. It has been rumoured on the Moncton general thread that one of the tenants will be Aaron's furniture store, relocating from the adjacent Northwest Centre, possibly freeing up space to allow for an expanded footprint for the planned Target store in the Northwest Centre. |
If I'm not mistaken someone mentioned that Plaza Corp now also owns the land on the other side of the small old section of Ryan street (old Irving). Seeing as the Zellers section is only about half of the average size of a Target, perhaps the plan is to remove the "dead road", and expand the buidling in that direction and replace lost parking?

BTW, you are correct C_Boy, PlazaCorp does also own the old Irving location next to the Northwest Centre as well. |

I thought that the brick was coming? Anyone know about the greek restaurant that use to be called OPA in Halifax still coming? I heard that MEC was coming too?
I really hope that more mature clothing stores for men and women will come like Banana republic etc. |
Quote:
- Opa (Ela) Greek Taverna has expressed strong interest in the Moncton market and there are a couple of available restaurant pads at the Mapleton Centre. No official announcements have been made. - MEC has more or less stated that they are not interested in Moncton. The new Cleves store however will be a combo "Source for Sports" and "Source for Adventure". Source for Adventure franchises do carry a lot of the same things as MEC would. - I have never stated that Banana Republic is definitely coming to Moncton. I have just commented on the fact that Champlain Place is working on filling the mall exclusively with upscale national retailers and that I felt that Banana Republic would be a "natural fit". |
General Stuff
- Bouclair has ads all over town...they have their sign lit up...all they need to do now is open up the doors! - Morton pub has been renovated into Golden Sushi & Thai - There is a new store opening up next to Red Satay Grille on St George st. What it is escapes me now...Ill update later. Mall Stuff - Sephoria cosmetics will open their first NB location in Champlain Place...the floor plan confirms they will be next to Smart Set which is currently renovating. - Yves Rocher will move to the former "spa" place across from The Childrens Place and Reitmans...not sure if this is a temporary move so they can renovate and move back (a la Smart Set) or a permanent move. |

Last summer, they dug a huge massive hole between the Mt-Rd/Wheeler on-ramp and Ryan Rd. This massive size pit appears to be some sort of drainage infrastructure. You can't miss it when leaving Mt-Rd jumping on Wheeler...look down to the right. Warning: Keep your eyes on the road because it's a long way down into this pit. |

The rumour a couple of months ago concerned both Sephora and Fossil. There is a Fossil opening at MicMac in Dartmouth, so perhaps this is an indication that the Fossil rumour may be true as well. Also coming to Champlain (a return really) is Pseudio. They have an ad in Kijiji. |
And one last bit of retail news for Champlain Place for the night. :)
Pandora jewelers is definitely coming to Champlain Place. There is a job listing for a store manager in wowjobs.ca. Pandora has also recently opened a new store at MicMac as well. So it seems that many of the new higher end stores that have recently opened (or announced) in Halifax are coming to Moncton as well. Major exceptions being Hollister and Apple Store. |
