according to a news report i heard a BCGEU guy said the only way a grocery store can get a license is buy an existing one and he didn't expect to see beer and wine in grocery stores that soon
The former Moxie's space has been leased to All-Star Ribs and Wings complete with a 'stars and stripes' logo, looks and sounds classy. Anyone heard of it? At the very least the space will be occupied, anything is an improvement for this corner.
Retail Insider posting that the Apple "flagship" for Vancouver is actually a new PC mall location under Nordstrom, so in other words NOT a flagship, unless there is some kind of street entrance.

We have amended our previous article to reflect that this will be a 'substantially larger' Apple Store, not a 'flagship'. Thank you dreambrother808 - we've retracted the term 'flagship' from our previous article as a result of your feedback, as well as that of others (Thank you Built Form!). We scrapped the previous article - the link to our new, updated article can be found here: http://www.retail-insider.com/retail-ins...ore-to-open-at-vancouvers-pacific-centre

That's too bad, I was gunning for a highly visible location as Apple Store buildings are often visually stunning and are considered trophy retail for any world city. For this reason, I almost wish the Pacific Centre mall portion was not being expanded, we need as much flagship retail at street-level as possible, not hidden in a corridor underground.

Yup, it's just a boring expansion, not a flagship. Retail Insider blew it.
I thought the Apple store in PC was closer to Holt Renfrew and across from Harry Rosen, north of Georgia. How can it be an expansion if it is a part of Nordstrom, which is south of Georgia. If I'm not an idiot, is it moving+expanding, or adding a satellite to expand?

The basement floor of the formers Sears / EATON'S building will not be part of Nordstrom, it will be an additional block of Pacific Centre's lower level, so a continuation of the mall all the way to Robson Street. We're guessing that's where the new larger Apple Store will locate.
As for Uniqlo, would they partner with Nordstrom as Topshop did with HBC, since they were already reported to have been in talks with HBC? The new basement mall extension doesn't seem like their style, so where else could they go that Leftcoaster would be hinting at? Perhaps the rotunda reno but that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Retail-Insider is reporting rumours that UniQlo will be entering Canada via Nordstrom.
Could this account for the relatively large size of the Vancouver Nordstrom store?
