But if a store requires $150 million in sales, how do you know that 700,000 people + travellers will produce it? Presumably the reason that Prof. Warren says it won't is that he's familiar with the literature on the subject and it says that a city of Winnipeg's size and wealth won't generate that type of revenue no matter how IKEA-crazy the 700,000 people might be.
In any case, we can wait to hear the announcement, whatever it turns out to be.
