I say this because it's quite clear Walmart isn't fond of mall locations and doesn't appear to have a mall entrance anymore in St. Vital. I would HATE going to a mall with Walmart and having to go all the way outside to go to Walmart and I know I can't be the only one, are they idiots? I also think it would be a good idea if that mall had a parkade added like Polo Park has. Yeah it would mean having to walk down stairs or going down an elevator to get to the mall but that place badly needs more parking and going up seems to be their only option.
As for Polo Park, I suppose if Sears gets out and gets replaced by Nordstrom then that potentially frees up the whole second floor of Sears, no? I would use that area to expand it even further, just like they did with the old Zellers. Anyway, I don't know Nordstrom but i'm assuming they don't need 2 levels of store for clothing and what not.
Speaking of Sears, just how much longer can they keep the lights on in their St James Home Store? There is barely anyone ever there from what I have seen.

nordstrom would need a second floor, at least 110,000 sq ft+
a lot of the seattle suburb stores are 3 levels
first floor is usually mens, junior mens, cosmetics, shoes, accessories etc. some womens, kids, second floor is all womens, shoes, clothes etc. and a small home section, plus all the stores usually have an espresso bar and a restaurant
