I walk by this sign every day on my way home from work (leading from College Park down to Aura), and if they don't straighten it out soon, I may have an anal-retentive nervous breakdown.
I don't know how much weight to put to this rumour, but I was talking to someone who works for a Canyon Creek over the weekend, and he said that it was decided NOT to put a Canyon Creek into Aura, and that instead they would be going with another concept. The Alice Fazooli's would still be going...
If the electronic maps that they have installed are to be believed, the Canyon Creek will be on the main floor right at the corner of Yonge and Gerrard, while Alice Fazooli's entrance will be further west along Gerrard.
I was down on the concourse level today and took a panorama shot of the (soon to be) food court with my iPhone.
I must say I was very disappointed. The area was much smaller than I had in my head. Almost all of the retail outlets (both in the food court and in the other areas) had "for lease"...
Given that Winners and Marshalls are owned by the same parent (TJX - which also owns TJ Maxx), I'm not sure what kind of "stiff competition" they will bring. It's sort of like a Best Buy and a Future Shop beside each other!
That said, while I'm no fan of Winners/Marshalls personally, it will...
