    Hudson's Bay Company

    I was at Yorkdale yesterday and decided to walk through the Yorkdale Bay and I was in shock. Keep in mind Yorkdale is considered a flagship and is #2 in volume after Queen St. The store was in deplorable shape and it looked like it was going out of business. I got the Sears vibe right before...

    And it’s begun with the big chains...Neiman Marcus is going to be filing for Bankruptcy.

    The Retail Apocalypse

    Times have changed! Bay was already planning on shutting down their stores down slowly over the next few years. But with the Covid-19 situation, it has changed their plans drastically. Out of the 34 stores in Ontario, I'm confident close to half of those locations will be shut down. They do have...

    The Retail Apocalypse

    I got more info on Hudsons Bay. Overall sales decline is close to 80%. They're barely hanging on. Store closures are absolutely imminent and looking to be accelerated. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bay stores start closing down this fall.

    Hudson's Bay Company

    I haven't been to that location but it sounds on par. Since you mentioned Yorkdale I'll share my most recent experience there. I was at Hudsons Bay Yorkdale last weekend and I saw concerning things going on there as well. I've never had any problems with this location in the past but this last...

    Hudson's Bay Company

    There will definitely be Bay stores closing down. Have any of you visited the suburban GTA locations recently? Stock levels are extremely low, bare shelves, racks and empty floor spaces and this has been like this for a couple months. Either they're not paying their PO's and stock is being...

    Vaughan Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland | 67.97m | ?s | Cedar Fair

    Yes Wilde Beast makes the most sense. It's the worst of out of the two woodies CW has. Plus, it has a better potential with its layout for RMC to work with compared to the out and back layout of Minebuster. Let's not forget that Splash Works is in the way. Yes you are right, Speedcity Raceway...

    Vaughan Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland | 67.97m | ?s | Cedar Fair

    Well good news is that CW is one of the parks that Cedar Fair will be investing in heavily going forward. I believe the hotel addition will debut for next season. I'd say Wonderland currently is a solid B+ park when you compare to other parks in North America. The park has a very solid Top 3...

    Vaughan Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland | 67.97m | ?s | Cedar Fair

    Yukon Striker looks phenomenal and I love the way it interacts with its surroundings in the park. I love that helix over the walkway and that vertical loop(the only Dive coaster with a vertical loop) to pay homage to Skyrider. With the coaster track about all installed. A new construction...

    New rides at Wonderland

    Some very exciting news for us who love coasters and Canada's Wonderland. This is going to be a GIGA B&M Dive Coaster. With the tunnel under Vortex, it is expected to be 300ft plus. While recording, Youtube channel Amusement insiders managed to see a lot of the Blueprints at the construction...

    Toronto 2024 Olympic Bid (Dead)

    I just wanted to say that the website domain toronto-2024.com has been registered. Registered on July 24th. And Toronto's trademarked the bid (Toronto 2024, Toronto 2024 Olympic Bid and TO2024) with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.

    Toronto 2024 Olympic Bid (Dead)

    If Los Angeles enters the race as a replacement, Toronto will still be able to handle their own. I have no doubt Toronto will have the strongest bid on paper just like 2008. This time there is no Beijing just Paris and Rome. Los Angeles just recently had a Summer Olympics in 1984 and if they get...
