Walmart bought out the lease from Target for the old Zellers store on Hamlyn Road as Target did not want that space. I think I heard that Walmart is experimenting with a new smaller concept in Canada called Walmart Urban 90 which utilizes a smaller space than the regular size Walmart stores.

I would say once Target is firmly established in Canada and Newfoundland, you will see other Target Stores opening. Most likely in either the Kelsey Drive area or in the new Southlands Big Box area which is suppose to start construction this year. Time will tell.

I noticed that Wingin' It is opening a second St. John's restaurant on Kenmount Road. It's in the newish strip mall building that's been vacant for many years just west of Kelsey Drive. Looks like it's going to be a pretty big location, so I have no excuse not to try and go there now ;)

I've updated the main page with a list of up and coming retail openings around town, along with a link to a google map. The list isn't extensive at all, so if anyone can think of anything I haven't thought of please post (there's a lot I know, so lets brainstorm an extensive list). I can also add businesses that are already open around town. It'd be impossible to list every store in town, so I'll just try and add any notable stores.

I heard on the radio this weekend that the new Wingin' It location will be at 93 Kenmount Rd. Apparently it's where the old Taiwan restaurant used to be. I guess they'll have a lot more space than the downtown location, also less hassle with parking! I Google mapped it below:

So, what's happening to Kenmount Road Swiss Chalet? Was supposed to reopen in the spring?
Doesn't look anywhere near to re-opening. Heard a rumour that they might not re-open, instead build a new restaurant in the Kelsey Drive area. |

According to the Smart Centres website, there is a piece of property available in front on Mark's Work Wearhouse entrance marked with a number 10 on the site map. That is probably a good location for Swiss Chalet. Here is a link to the site plan for Kelsey Drive. Though I think this site map needs to be updated as some newer stores have since gone there.

An excavator was there during the winter to dig some test holes,presumably for a geotechnical report for a new building. It could be Swiss chalet. Also, there is still a lot left to be developed directly between the Staples and WokBox. That location would work as well.

I remember when I lived in Sydney N.S. there was a McDonald's which had been the site of a murder. After that business trailed off and eventually a new restaurant was built about 500 metres away in a neighbouring parking lot. Picked up again after that. |
I heard that the new Wing'n It location on Kenmount Rd. will be opening this coming Monday, May 7.

Confirmed. I need to get paid, I'm dying for some wings :P

I noticed Moxies sponsoring shows on NTV earlier the week. Any rumours of them opening a restaurant in St. John's?
