Yorkdale Shopping Centre

Chinese/Asian clientele make up a recognizable portion of the market, but I wouldn't say that alone has contributed to Yorkdale being elevated as the premier destination of luxury retail. Location also plays an important role, as Yorkdale is geographically more centralized among the entire GTA. The highway proximity also makes it easier to access for other well-to-do folks from the surrounding outer boroughs and suburbs to access. And as usual, parking is important for the often auto-centric clientele of the high end retail market. The typical Alexander McQueen shopper may not be taking the TTC to get there per se, but public transit also keeps Yorkdale popular as a whole, with it being well served by the subway, buses, along with regional connection with the GO station there as well.

As opposed to a fine view of the most boring corner on King Street?
The view isn't what people are going for.

1) I would take the corner of King/York every single time over the parking lot at Yorkdale.

2) You're entitled to your preferences; but they certainly don't align with my own.

I didn't know about this store until I visited the mall, for the first time in ages, last week.

People were lined up, a couple of dozen of them, to get in. I didn't have the heart to tell them they could walk 30 seconds to Sport Chek and find most of the same stuff. 😜
