Back in the day (late 90's, easly 2000's), Locke St had a couple of these stores, replaced w/in the last 2 years or so with Yuppy shops. Most recently, Discount Emporium closed and turned into a Beauty Supplies outlet.

That said, I can (sadly) see this happening to JamesNorth. It's only a matter of time Starbucks sees The Mulberry's success and forces itself onto the street. Rumour of one at 118 JamesNorth were false, however.

"sadly"? Are you nuts? Starbucks in dt Hamilton would be the best thing that could happen to this city. Starbucks, whether we like it or not, brings a 'class' to an area, it is actually studied to be a revivial indicator. In fact, Starbucks has shown to INCREASE existing coffee business on the street.
