With all the talk about SLGA stores, does anyone know what is being built behind the SLGA store on Dewdney Avenue? I believe the address is 4223 Dewdney.

Have there been any rumours as to what's going in the old Sears spot in the Cornwall yet?

I remember talk of Winners And Homesense and then not sure what else. Rumor also of expanded shoppers with larger grocery section. I would love Goodlife Fitness to take up some space as well.

I understand nothing is imminent.

I thought I'd heard Marshalls was taking the old Home Outfitters space between Michaels and London Drugs on VicEast/Prince of Wales, but there's been little to no activity in there for over a month. Has anyone heard anything about that space?

Still on the site map. These chains have store opening crews. If they are not done the last one, the next one has to wait. It is a big job.

Saw signs up yesterday that Marshalls will be opening April 9th. They took about 2/3 of the old Home Outfitters space. I haven't heard of anyone confirmed for the rest of the space yet

I'm hoping for a Go-Kart track!

[StealthGirl]

That's too bad. I was hoping Marshalls had changed their mind. They're the same company as Winners and Homesense so not really bringing anything new. And so continues the Regina retail habit of same old same old.

Marshalls does try to carry different brands at least, they tend to have higher priced brands, at least the stores in BC do. And they are laid out nicer.

Any picture updates of the Cornwall Centre renovations?

I was there last week. It is still in progress. Not much to look at.

Payless is applying for creditor protection in Canada and will close all locations in Canada this spring. That would be three stores here -- Harbour Landing, Cornwall Centre and SE Regina just off Prince of Wales.

Never shopped there and not a surprise really. I’m sure DSW has taken a chunk of their profits.

There is a 4th Payless in Regina in the Northgate Mall.

I looked at this site map when Stormer posted it on February 5th and noticed a few retail spots that are orange, which I assume are available for lease, such as the former Bowring location and the remaining space in the former Home Outfitters. I noticed the small three-unit retail space current occupied by Payless Shoes, Regis Salon, and Paderno Kitchen Store, are all indicating orange as well. So, does this mean that Regis and Paderno are closing soon too?

Paderno was acquired by Canadian Tire last year. They likely have a new strategy and may be relocating. I believe Regis is a franchise.

Thanks, Stormer.

I'm afraid we are going to see more retail and restaurant closures this year. So many are just barely hanging on. You just have to wonder "who's next?".
