Greetings
OUIR@random and welcome to the forum!
re:
Pseudio - I agree completely, not really a "high end" tenant, but is an essentially confirmed tenant, since there was a job posting for a manager for this store on kijiji.
re:
Sephora - apparently confirmed from several sources.
re:
Pandora - also confirmed via an internet job posting.
re:
Coach - less certain. As you have stated, this is hearsay from a mall employee, but she seemed quite adamant about this information and since a Coach store recently opened in Halifax, there may be some credence to this.
re:
Fossil - no concrete information, but an online retail blog did state that the chain was interested in both the Moncton and Halifax markets. A fossil store is definitely opening in Halifax.
re:
Banana Republic - not even a whisper about this
but they certainly fit the profile of tenants that Champlain wants to attract to the mall. BR is part of the GAP empire, so the chain should be familiar with the mall. I could see them coming.
re
Jack & Jones - I agree that the store is not crawling with patrons all the time, but they are also opening in SJ, which presumably indicates some confidence in the market. My middle son has bought a number of things at the store. I think they're doing OK.
If I was wondering about any store at the mall, it would be MEXX/MEXX Kids. Those stores seem empty all the time, yet have been open for a couple of years....
