Halifax is a high income city, we already have stores like Coach that are more pricey than Lacoste. I have many Lacoste clothing items, and I know they would have no problem here in Halifax. I've been to the Rideau Centre location, and I don't think that the Rideau Centre has anything on the malls we have here in Halifax. It was very run down and out-dated.
Regarding Hollister, I can see why people dislike it. It is very loud and obnoxious with its marketing and its stores. However, I like it just for that reason; it is very different from other stores. Most stores are the typical walk in a open space with quiet music and racks and tables of clothes, Hollister definitely isn't like that. They spend A LOT of time and money on decorations and other things that create an overall appeal to young customers aged 15-25ish that they focus their marketing on. The vast majority of people that dislike Hollister are outside of the store's target age group because of their store's set-up and young feel to it. I'll probably hate the store too once I am outside of their demographic
