PS. Are they putting signage on the outside of the building for Urban Planet and Ardene? Would be nice to have some night time Signage lighting off of Hamilton and Sask Drive.

There's signage on Sask Drive for Urban Planet.

It's still there; I just stood in front of it. For the record, the sign is lit up now too.

I walked around in it at lunch - it's honestly not as bad as I thought it'd be. It reminds me a lot of Forever 21 (RIP).

Would anyone be able to take pics of the new signage on the outside of the Former Sears chunk of Cornwall Centre? Did they put it on Hamilton Street too?

Cade Style Lounge on South Albert has announced they are closing. They are claiming that they took some risks to grow their business during an economic downturn and that has led to this, also claiming that people need to support local.

I wonder to what degree their move away from their downtown location impacted this. I was never a fan of their new location on south Albert. Sad to see either way.

South Albert seems like a weird retail strip (groceries, banking & fast/casual food, and medical/dental, sure - well established, but other retail?)... curious how well Havik's done since they moved.

Chinese Variety Retailer YOYOSO to Enter Canada with Plans for Multiple Storefronts
February 26, 2020

Chinese variety retailer YOYOSO is kicking off its entry into Canada this spring with its first storefront set to open in a shopping centre in Regina. A company representative told Retail Insider that YOYOSO will look to open 30-40 stores in Canada, and possibly more depending on performance.

YOYOSO’s first Canadian store will locate at the Southland Shopping Centre in Regina. The franchised location will be located in a 2,000-square-foot space in the mall which is anchored by Canadian Tire, Safeway, and a Cineplex cinema. Renderings of the YOYOSO store show a bright space characterized by the retailer’s blue-green branding that is eye-catching. Other major markets in Canada are also expected to see YOYOSO stores open as the brand further penetrates the Canadian market.

The retailer focuses on eight categories in its stores, including health and beauty/cosmetics, home accessories, fashion accessories, fashion bags, digital accessories, stationery & gifts, seasonal products, and imported food. A total of 5,000 products are available and YOYOSO says that 500 new items arrive in its stores each month. Target markets vary from mainstream value-seekers to even “white collar workers” and “the petty bourgeoisie” according to a post on the Southland Shopping Centre website. “As far as now, the YOYOSO stores have totally served more than 1 billion customers all over the world,” the post goes on to say. More than 100 designers create products for the retailer’s stores.

...

YOYOSO was founded in 2014 and now operates more than 1,000 stores in 30 countries worldwide. Markets include China, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Bahrain, Brunei, Georgia, Kuwait, India, South Africa, Hungary, Mongolia, Brazil, the United States, Guatemala, Ecuador, France, Russia, and Iraq. South Africa is a new market for YOYOSO, according to its website.

Wow. First in Canada. I love that they will cater to the "petty bourgeoisie" or as I suppose Canadians call them, petite bourgeoisie. We certainly have our share of them.

I thought Southland already had a sign up for Yoyoso where they have a storefront boarded over. It's sort of across from the library on the inside.

eTA: Opening on Sunday. https://www.facebook.com/events/1924194101212930/

yveseluj · #**1415** Posted **Feb 26, 2020, 3:36 PM**

Interesting that they went with Southland.
