Hoardings are up in Pacific Centre for a Telus store - right next to the new Best Buy (mobile) store - near the Dunsmuir entrance.

Hudson's Bay to open outlet / clearance stores.

http://www.retail-insider.com/2013/04/hudsons-bay-outlet-stores-to-open.html

Sounds more like the Sears Clearance Store at Lougheed, than Nordstrom Rack. I think Nordstrom Rack has a lot of new merchandise.

Wasn't there an HBC outlet store in Surrey many years ago? It was located in the 108 and 148 area.

HBC used to own Designer Depot.. which served this purpose. They sold it.. and now it sells off label —.

"Designer Depot is Canadian department store that sells brand names at prices 25–60% below regular department and specialty store prices. It was created in November 2004 as a division of retailer Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). It was sold by HBC in April 2008 to the INC Group of Companies."

POLICE in West Vancouver are on the lookout for thieves with sartorial flair after someone cut a hole in the roof of a Park Royal department store and tried to make off with over $100,000 worth in high-end fashion.

The Rasoee in the 819 on Robson (@ Hamilton) is being replaced with ... "Fantastico Pizza 2001". There's a new sign up.

And the warp store on the corner has closed and has been papered up.

The former International News on the next block has a sign up that says "Currency Exchange" - not sure how long that has been there.

i went to lord and taylor last month in new york the store itself seemed a little dull and boring, reminded me of the bay a few years ago, but they had renderings up for the mens floor which is being redone - it looks a lot like the vancouver store, mens dept. cool to see vancouver taking the lead over new york

Visited the Best Buy and Marshalls at 26 SW Marine Drive last night - it's a pretty miserable retail complex. The distances are so far (across the parking garage) that there's no connection between the stores at all (even on the top level)

My opinion is the the project was built that way on purpose, it'll be used as retail for ~25yrs long enough to pay for itself and then probably reapply for upzoning as a mixed used project to include residential and it'll be an easier sell as the current development is substandard.
