It was mentioned, but worth re-mentioning. It seems to be a hit as more often than not is it being rented out, whether it's for meetings or retail/pop-up shop stuff.

They for sure put more money into the Cornwall Centre version than the Southland Mall space.

Yep, I didn't mean any attitude. I seriously didn't see the connection.

That was my interpretation. The connection wasn't obvious to me either.

In any event, onward we go.

Not quite retail but rumour is Rainbow Cinemas in Golden Mile is shutting down at the end of the month. I guess streaming is starting to kill theatres.

Yeah I'd think 2nd run theatres are the worst hit. I don't think first run theatres are nearly as impacted and they'll be fine.

Yeah. It needs an update. Recently they were renting theatre space out to a religious organization weekly which really calls to hard times. A Reno and maybe new owner might be what it needs.

I'm not sure what would even go in there.

Ideally expand the Superstore so it's actually a standard size.

Definitely a fair bit smaller. I'd guess somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 the size of a normal one. That said, it's usually been good enough for normal grocery runs.

It wouldn't need a liquor store either, which the others have given the other options nearby.

Would love an actual VIP theatre with good seating, food and alcohol drink options.

Landmark Cinemas is a new build, but I haven't been there. Is it a more modern facility?

It is a nice building and facility, just the worst bathroom entrance design. Single file in which is so frustrating and truly makes no sense for flow in and out. I would love a Landmark Cinemas VIP Downtown (smaller theatres) to compliment the stadium style seating in the east.

I would love to see a cinema downtown again but it would also be great if Rainbow does in fact close, for Landmark to take over that property. They have a number of former Magic Lantern theatres and I believe their only presence in Saskatchewan is one theatre each in Regina and Saskatoon.

Okay okay, let's find something we can all agree on: a new 15,000-person hockey arena should be built on the site of the old Rainbow Cinemas.

It's a pretty busy transit hub so it has decent service in that respect. I don't think it would fit without leveling a lot of the current businesses. I would miss Fat Burger. I don't go often, but I do like it.

Cornwall Centre 2nd Floor former GAP to be new Le Chateau/Suzy Shier and former GAP Kids smaller space new Twisted Goods (much better size for that store).

Draftsman · #**1760** Posted **Jul 29, 2022, 6:40 AM**

Le Chateau and Suzy Shier were both original tenants in Cornwall Centre. Welcome back.
