[Moncton] Retail Thread

They are absolutely maintaining the current style and facade for the Rona on Cabela's Court.

They are currently paining the roof black (rather than Cabela's green). Aside from a few new windows, the exterior of the building appears untouched.

This pleases me greatly.

”The assets and store leases of leading Canadian luggage and travel products retailer Bentley & Co. Ltd. have been acquired by Paul Nassar, owner of Hart Stores.

The majority of Bentley’s 140 stores will be retained as part of the transaction, although around 40 stores may close as part of a restructuring of the businesses retail footprint, said Walter Lamothe, President and CEO of Bentley.

Nassar owns Hart Stores and several other small to medium retail operations in Canada. In 2015, he acquired 60 Hart Stores out of bankruptcy. Since then, Hart Stores have grown to over 120 stores with a presence in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes”.

The T&T article tells us nothing we don't already know, and, is being published about two months after the cat was let out of the bag, but, this is understandable since they have to deal with cold hard facts, while we on SSP are happy just speculating with rumours.
