Zippity Zoom Toys had announced they were closing, but have since announced their daughter will be taking ownership and keeping it open. That's a great independent that is wonderful to see continue.

I noticed that Sears Home on Quance is leased. Any idea who might be moving in?

EB Games posting financials rangers from tiny profits to small loses for many quarters now over a few years.

Lowes/Rona - missed their recent quarterly projections due to slower than expected sales in Canada and closed a number of locations in late 2018.

Saks and Off 5th - with the Home Outfitters news came a report that 20 US based locations will likely close. The whole chain could get pulled at some point.

Also hearing Reitmans et all (Addition Elle, Pennigtons, R&W etc) seems to be in trouble.

Yup. Grim time to be in retail and I am sure even those are just the tip of what is happening.

"The Amazon Effect" ... sounds like a horror movie title.

Well I'm not sure the Amazon effect has anything to do with EB games. Buying video games has evolved just like renting movies. You can download them on all platforms now.

Kohl's department store in the US has come up with a brilliant idea, which has really turned things around for the chain. They now are accepting Amazon returns in their stores.! I'm not sure exactly how it works, but just think of all the new bodies they are getting through the doors.

Someone butchered the quotes so I can't follow the conversation anymore. Does anyone here fix that stuff?

They are not quite done yet. Still some tiling and other work to do. They have fully replaced the furniture in the food court.

I will take a few pictures of the place for you once I see the floor is complete, I am through there several times a week.

Other than some tiling around entrances to businesses it seems most of the tile is in. I'm not sure what the plan is for grouting the tile though.

I don't like the new furniture as it seems jammed in to any space they could find but I guess that means there's more seating for those days when it's really busy.

I hope the new furniture is more modern than the previous and away with the browns and darkness.

The furniture is definitely brighter but like I said it just seems stuck in there with not much planning.

That's a lot of rent to pay for kids to play in...

Marshalls (Prince of Wales/Quance) was set to open April 09.

[jigglysquishy]

It's basically what the Rec Room is in Edmonton. Kid friendly, but very much geared towards adults.

There's also "Baller's Rec Room" on Dewdney.

Thanks for the pictures!

This renovation is definitely a step in the right direction. Here’s hoping the Cornwall continues to make progress and develop. I hope the Sears location gets a quality makeover inside and out.
