All this IKEA talk is giving me withdrawls. When I am home I probably go to IKEA about 3 times a week, this last time home was about 5 times. I don't know why I go so much. Lucky it's not even 5 minutes driving time, probably why. Saturdays are hell day at IKEA though.

IKEA is establishing a "collection point" in St. John's, presumably a result of the Halifax store. Basically it's a third party location where people here can pick up IKEA orders with a flat discount on shipping.

There are others being added in New Glasgow, Sydney, Charlottetown, and Fredericton.

Really seems like their market info may not be ideal. Wouldn't Moncton be the better choice for NB's? It's like they went to both ends of Nova Scotia plus neighboring capitals. Corner Brook would probably be a good addition.

*****

Gap is leaving St. John's. Its last store in the Avalon Mall will close in a few weeks.

Yeah Halifax, Moncton and Saint John were launched earlier.

Of course Halifax will close once the store opens this year. I noticed Truro, the Annapolis Valley and the South Shore of Nova Scotia were left out as they will be within an hours drive of the new IKEA store.

Rideau Centre expansion with replicated 1908 Charles Ogilvy Limited Department Store Façade (using 1916 bricks, mix of 1908 and 1916 spandrel panels and straps above third floor windows. Everything else replicated from scratch using historic photographs).

Before demolition

New

Only thing left to complete within the Rideau Centre rehabilitation project are the subway station entrances around the former food court. Expected to open Spring 2018.

^ Phenomenal! Well done, O-Town! Are the outside entrances to stores like H&M accessible or permanently closed? One of my biggest gripes with Edmonton's City Centre is that it was remodeled to have a bunch of stores with outside access doors, which were later sealed and can now only be used by employees. You have to go inside to get to the store.

What exactly are people seeing?!? The heritage facade is well executed but the rest is the typical hodgepodge found in retail design. The interior looks like every other mall reno in the last 10 years.

It looks sterile. Like a pharmacy.

Clearly meant to impart a posh look, like what you'd see walking into a luxury car dealership.

CF did a great job, Rideau Centre looks very fresh now.

The interior is nice - reminds me of Gulf countries. The heritage restoration is perfect. And the rest is fine. There's nothing not to like for me.

Interesting they picked Les Galeries de Hull. It's a very small shopping centre (some would say rinky-dink), though very much alive and well-maintained.

If they're staying there I am sure they'll also stay at our mega-mall, Les Promenades. Unless rents are too high there - rents have been jacked up since it became an Oxford property.

They would own the lease at whatever rate HMV signed atmost likely, which could be very long ago.

Good point. I notice that most of the big downtown mall locations are absent from that list though.

^^Too bad the Yonge Street flagship store isn't on the list. What else would want to locate in that space?

You have a weed lot on one side and the awkwardly laid out 10 Dundas Mall on the other. I don't think anyone will be signing a new long term lease and the owner probably gladly took back the old one.

Montreal's downtown HMV is not in a mall but on a very desirable, large street location at the corner of Sainte-Catherine and Peel. I bet there will be a lot of speculations about who will take their place. It really is one of the best spot in the city.
