There are some hot and heavy rumours out there that
Simons will take over the Sears lease at Halifax Shopping Centre in 2018-19. This would fit in with HSC's aspirations of being
the regional fashion mall for Atlantic Canada.
If this rumour is correct, then I agree that all Sears locations in Atlantic Canada will disappear. I think Sears would require at least three Maritime locations to justify the expense of maintaining the regional supply chain.
I really think Sears is in it's death throws anyway. If you look at the list of most recent announced store closings, it includes locations in some heavy duty regional malls (Avalon, Polo Park, Scarborough Town Centre, Pointe Claire). Sears isn't just cutting the fat now, they are busily sawing into sinew and bone as well........
