Victoria's Secret is coming to Champlain Place? Seriously? I'm actually quite surprised by this.

It was announced a few months ago that VS wanted to expand their Canadian market.

A store that sells axes, cigars, and sports cars.

Please. I always feel hated-on for being a man every time I visit Champlain Place.

mylesmalley · #**8085** Posted **Jan 20, 2011, 6:45 PM**

That's why I never go

The ultimate "MAN's STORE" would be BASS PRO SHOPS...It would do very well up here with all the outdoor activities in the maritimes....the "Lure" has to be cast out to them in order for them to the the maritime light

I'm sure many US visitors would drive up for that as well, unless there's one in Maine somewhere.

Steelcowboy · #**8088** Posted **Jan 21, 2011, 3:48 AM**

The closest one is in Foxborough, MA a future store in Montreal. I'm surprised they don't have one in Minnesota...land of 10,000 lakes.

JasonL-Moncton · #**8089** Posted **Jan 21, 2011, 2:02 PM**

LOL...they could put a "Cabela's" or a "Bass Pro Shop" out at Mapleton too...highway access...perfect.

Actually, soon to be three Costco locations

. The Fredericton store is due to open in August.

curious · #**8091** Posted **Jan 21, 2011, 3:28 PM**

Yah seriously VS and bath and body works. I do agree the mall is horrible for males and even women over 40. I really want to open a MEC or Cabela's. I have emailed both and no response

Is it now mandatory for every second store in Champlain to have a headache inducing perfume smell to them? I worked in that mall about 8 years ago with no problems. Now I can't spend 5 mins in it without having to leave due to dizziness and headache.

Oh well. I prefer to spend my money in Moncton anyway.

mylesmalley · #**8093** Posted **Jan 22, 2011, 4:59 AM**

If I wasn't so cheap, I'd suggest we all chip in and open up a mall that caters to people such as ourselves.

I hear there's some significant retail space downtown with great access to major roads which is going for bargain-basement prices. Who's with me!?

When I went to peoples the other day they told me they are moving to the old Mappins area and bath and body works was going in there? I really wish some stores would open up down town instead of in the mall. Downtown Moncton is so empty. It is an eye sore.

Is Bath and Body Works moving into the old Sam's location next to H&M?

So:

- Peoples is moving into the old Mappin's location.
- Bath and Body Works is moving into the old Peoples location.
- Victoria's Secret is (presumably) moving into the La Senza location
- They are also renovating the old Sam's location next to H&M. There must be something moving into there as well. I know that Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory has been interested in moving into Champlain for some time......

mmmatt · #**8097** Posted **Jan 23, 2011, 5:54 PM**

the old Sams is going to be EB games...which will be at least 3 times bigger than their current locale. Read it on the building permit above the door yesterday

So perhaps the old EB will be Rocky Mountain Chocolate? Seems like the perfect size for a candy store...

theshark · #**8098** Posted **Jan 23, 2011, 6:58 PM**

So no more eb games at Champlain, no more reason for me to go here anymore....... Haaaa read it wrong , there is still hope

Ya...that end of the mall is kinda manly with Sport Chek, Eddie Bauer and now EB Games haha

MonctonRad · #**8100** Posted **Jan 23, 2011, 10:18 PM**

Hmmmmm........

The old EB location is right next to People's isn't it. Maybe it's going to get incorporated into the Bath & Bodyworks location
