I can't find anything concrete about that Pickle Barrel closing, other than an offhand Reddit comment. I'm a little skeptical about the timing, too. They would have to renovate the entire restaurant inside and out if they wanted to transform it into an Olive Garden for the summer of this year...

Mastermind comes to mind... Toys R Us up here is another funny story. That man Doug Putman constantly bites off more than he could chew time and time again.

Yeah could be those as well. Upper Canada could use one for sure.

Interesting. Sherway Gardens Saks Fifth? Bramalea City Centre? Scarborough?

https://archive.ph/fJYPe Not about Simon's. It's about Ailes. They are, in addition to the planned Yorkdale lease, getting two Quebec leases. They are technically a Montreal department store. Just go to Winners....

To toss my hat into the ring, I agree with this sentiment. I will add that I think this is more on CF than Aaniin when it comes to the aesthetics of the store- other pop-ups retained fixtures, but it seems like CF handed them a gutted lease and they probably didn't have the funds to make it look...

Say what you want about luxury retail as a whole but at least it's different!

Marshalls and Petsmart are already both located off North Queen and Index in the northern SmartCentres. I'm not sure they would want to move into Yorkdale, especially considering they might not fit with the mall's vision.

Oooh, where would I be able to find those plans? Regardless of Ford involvement it really wouldn't be a bad idea. It would give people access to a lot of retail, and future condo developments at Sherway as well.

I was going to mention that a Line 2 extension or an "Etobicoke" line would be pretty cool, ending at Sherway Gardens or hitting it along the way. Just not sure how feasible it is. I would imagine it would take up the Saks lease but I don't wanna get too excited at the thought!

Also, I'll add this; I'm excited to see what CF is going to do with Sherway now that they have three empty anchor boxes. It's also a little worrying because it's not like they can put a Simons (too close to Square One) or Holt's (moved from Sherway to Square One). I think letting the Ontario...

Yes. They were taking the signs down today. I saw an aerial lift near the Cactus Club parkade and they took the sign down from the small parkade entrance I snapped a picture of a week ago (very good timing). Label scars galore. I could imagine CF is very happy to take those signs down on their...

Bye bye... 🥲

I didn't want to editorialize when this news first came out but it's been pretty evident Oxford has less and less to want to do with Fairweather as time goes on. Square One used to have International Clothiers and Fairweather/Stockhomme, but within the past year, they gave them the boot-...

Yeah they're victims here as well. They were sold a vision they had no way of knowing was legit or not. If I were RI I would probably be excited too if Ruby came to me and detailed a plan like that.
