BTW the renovations done to the mall are looking great... Iti is good to see now that we have a first class mall.

I am aware of no good link for the Mapleton Power Centre development. As for stores that may be moving in there, the potential line-up includes:
- The Brick (new)
- Best Buy (new)
- Jacob Connexion (new)
- La Vie en Rose (new)
- Trade Secret (new)
- Swiss Chalet (new)
- Starbucks (new)
- Bank (name to be announced)
- ? Cleve's Sources for Sport (moving from Trinity)
- ? Sony Store (moving from Champlain)
This is only a partial list. There are many more spaces available in this development for lease. The developer unfortunately is very tight lipped.
I have a strong suspicion that there will be at least one other restaurant in this development and there is space for a gas bar as well. It is possible that Mountain Equipment Co-op may move in there, but this is only an unsubstantiated rumour.
As for Champlain Place, the big announcement is that Swedish clothing store H&M is moving into the mall in the new year. There was a rumour that a Boston Pizza franchise might move into the old Don Cherry's space but I have seen no evidence of this happening.
Finally, I strongly suspect we might see a Baton Rouge Steakhouse franchise in the city in the next year. It is after all part of Bernard Imbeault's IMVESCOR empire. This could either go to Mapleton or Champlain.
