I thought Le Chateau went bankrupt. Did they get sold and resurrected?

As per the linked story from CBC (dated November 16, 2021), Suzy's Inc., the owner of Suzy Shier, has purchased Le Chateau's intellectual property.

Maybe they can fill the basement space with Zellers with new direct stairs heading down from the 11th Avenue Hudson’s Bay entrance. Food items in the basement too.

Rainbow Cinemas has announced they will close. Rumour is Sept 25 but the article doesn't say that.

That's a shame, I have good memories going there when it was $2. I will always remember going to The Blair Witch Project there with a pretty packed theatre. However, I haven't been there for years so of course I am part of the problem. I always intended to take my kids there but never got around to it.

The article makes a good point about being cheaper than Blockbuster back in the day. Really shows how streaming services have made watching movies much much cheaper than in the past. Big screen TVs and home theatres are also much cheaper than they used to be as well.

It's really too bad. Friends and I would do a double-feature style night where we would get tickets to two different movies (usually 7ish and 10ish showtimes) and spend the entire evening there with usually a 30-45 minute break between films. It was a great way to spend a frigid winter night with nothing else to do.

Deleted since this message board software from the 90s doesn't actually let you delete a post.

Ardene in Grasslands is shutting down. Not a real loss. Still two other stores in the city selling their cheap, fast fashion. It didn't make sense for them to have a store in Southland and Grasslands, but I guess they aren't the only one.

Agreed, no big loss! Hopefully something better fills the space.

Visited Regina’s second NEW Bath & Body Works at Harbour Landing during the holidays and loved the location. It was very busy too.

Only issue is now Cornwall Centre has lost another Regina exclusive retailer.

Good chance Bed Bath & Beyond closes, given that it's nearing bankruptcy.

Yep, I would expect that to be the next big one to go.

Premium Label Outlet in Victoria Square Morgue has started their close out sales. It's not really a surprise given the rough condition of that mall.

From their crackbook page: "Beginning tomorrow, January 14th, we will be offering 50% off all white sticker tags in-store, as well as deeper discounts on select products, while products last. All sales will be final. Our final day in Regina at Victoria Square Shopping Centre will be January 22nd, 2023, so hurry in!"

Another sign that our malls are dying: A&W has closed their spot in the Northgate Mall.

This makes me disappointed and angry that Cornwall Centre didn’t solidify Zellers for the vacant HBC space. Hoping Regina will be round 2.

Also the Cornwall Centre has a new property manager (phew) so I am hoping this will help get its team back on track.

Zellers is coming back as a boutique inside existing Hudson's Bay stores so it's return is really just hype to try to get traffic. It's no loss that Regina's store isn't getting one.

Yep. Apparently people are disappointed we aren't getting a few shelves with a Zellers logo above them.

It's funny how time changes people's perception. I remember Zellers as a dirty store with — all over the place. I didn't miss it when it disappeared.

A 10,000sqft usage inside the current Hudson’s Bay Cornwall Centre store (currently with an empty basement) would be a good thing. If it brings renovations with it, it would be a good thing. All infill for Regina retail is a good thing, whether you like Zellers or not.

It would a part of an existing store. It won't generate any infill.

It's basically like renaming the shoe department to Zellers.

Isn’t that what I just said? Lol. Even if it became a Zellers shoe section in the store, there would hopefully be renovations which would be better than what the Cornwall Centre HB is now.
