To your other point, it seems as though if anything, Victoria is underretailed, if such a thing exists.

There's no IKEA in Atlantic Canada but Victoria already has 2 within daytrip distance. Vancouver Island only has around 750,000 people and an IKEA there wouldn't get much business from the mainland since it's easier and cheaper for just about everybody there to get to Richmond or Coquitlam.
