Department stores are generally built for regional business, not local.

There's no way it will be a discount store, or they wouldn't be teasing/bragging about it, and they certainly wouldn't be persuing it; not when Broadway has entered a phase where several mid to high end restaurants will be opening their doors in the next year. A discount store is simply not congruent with the Bringing Back Broadway vision.
