Even if it may not seem so.

So, not really surprising that they'd have a major brand name like Saks.
(the world's second richest man does come from Mexico, after all).

If a brand like Saks or Harrods were to open a major store anywhere in Canada, I'd put my money on Toronto or Montreal first, before Vancouver, (and not even meaning any disrespect to Vancouver) - let alone Burnaby.

And even in GVA it probably goes without saying that they'd be more likley to open stores at Pacific Center and nowhere else, just based on sales/revenue per square footage (as well as the fact that Pacific Center is the only one in the GVA that ranks in the top 15 in all of Canada).
And even then, maybe Saks, probably, but Harrods, I seriously doubt.

Yes.. and Mexico City has a population about 3x (more or less) that of Metro Vancouver. It has a larger market or pool of customers...as do many big Asian metropolises that have the mixed residential/commercial sites similar to what's being built now with the Amazing Brentwood.
