I have a feeling HBC will do just fine, but they really do need to renovate some of their locations, particularly suburban ones. Or maybe in some cases straight up get rid of them. I normally shop at the flagship HBC at Yonge and Queen in Toronto which is a gorgeous store with a huge amount of selection. Always seems busy too. At Xmas I went to the Market Mall location in Calgary (an increasingly upscale mall) and it was like night and day. Not only did it look dingy and outdated, but the selection was quite poor in comparison. I have a feeling the Chinook Centre location is quite nice though, probably similar to Yorkdale in Toronto.
