The pieces are beginning to fall into place.
Prepandemic job adverts for
Torrid at CF Champlain have just reappeared on Indeed.com:

So, at least part of my prediction is coming true.
Torrid is coming to CF Champlain. Will LL Bean be coming as well??? My spidey senses are tingling.
Torrid is actually a pretty big catch for the mall. There are only 21 Torrid locations in Canada, so CF Champlain will be landing this retailer before many other larger malls in the country. The only other regional Torrid location is at Halifax Shopping Centre. Torrid is a very popular store with fashion conscious plus sized women.
In the prepandemic era, major changes were in order for CF Champlain, involving (almost) all the retailers listed in the quote above, as well as
Lush (who were definitely also planning on a new CF Champlain store) and a couple of other, the names of which I forget. Are all these plans now back on the table? Will we see more major store announcements for CF Champlain in the upcoming months? I am hopeful............
In addition to the south wing, CF Champlain may also have plans for the old Victoria's Secret location too.
