Irving will open a gas bar and Circle K at the new Kenmount Business Park intersection. Most Irvings also include a national fast food franchise with a drive-thru attached to their building and even though this wasn't mentioned, I am assuming it will be included. Any guesses?
Also, I noticed that the Mount Pearl side of this intersection is nearly complete with sidewalks being poured and paving starting. I'm sure the traffic lights will be installed and activated soon as the infrastructure was pre-installed in the ground last fall. |

Is this on Kenmount Road between Avalon Ford and Paradise Elizabeth Park ? |

Yes, midway between. |
Looks like the old Model Shop building downtown has been leased. Sign in the window says Isla and Sam's Shoes and Fashion.

For those on here that were always hoping for a Forever 21 would open in St. John’s will be disappointed to know they are closing all 44 Forever 21 stores in Canada as they are going through bankruptcy. Here’s a link to the story.

It's notable to point out that in the past when people would post to IKEA on FB about them opening a store here, their response has always been something along the lines of "we are always looking for new expansion opportunities however there isn't a plan for a NL store at the moment" :shrug: |

Regardless of what many people say and crave for an IKEA store in St John’s...I’m convinced that IKEA would not succeed here with our small (and declining) population.
It’s not like Costco which which is general groceries and merchandise, IKEA is primarily just a furniture store. I’m sure if we did get one it would be super popular for about six months and then the novelty would wear off pretty quickly. Plus Nova Scotia’s IKEA has the the benefit of a much larger population and the fact that province is attached to mainland Canada and nearby USA. We are separated here on an island which limits travelling to and from. Perhaps a much smaller IKEA pickup and order store which was once mentioned as a new concept for them would make more sense for here. I But a full size IKEA is just a pipe dream really in my opinion.

The population base rule was part of their overseas expansion plan, which has clearly changed with one being in Halifax again. |
Noted. But I stand by my opinion.

Perhaps a smaller format IKEA could work here. Like is explained in the link blow...

I noticed this morning the sign is on the new Shopper's building in Paradise (next to Starbucks). I heard that the tentative opening date is mid to late November.

Anyone know whats going in the old Furniture Market spot on Kenmount? Noticed today that they've started renovating it and painting the outside blue and grey
|
I heard that Giant Tiger is going to move into part of the former Target building on Stavanger Drive. Does anyone know anything about this?
