Place d'Orléans Shopping Centre

It seems like its official that The Bay will be closing. The Bay takes up a big chunk of the western side of the mall.

Now there will be no retail on the 2nd floor at all except Sport Check, I wonder how long they will keep the awkwardly located Superstore and relocate potentially to the former Bay space? This is just speculation. Not that The Bay drove much traffic to the mall anymore but it is still a lot of empty space in a highly visible part of the mall. Sears at St. Laurent has yet to be repurposed.

I wonder how this will affect the future of malls in Ottawa. Place dOrleans is probably the most vulnerable.
