If it was Green Mango, it would be like the old days again!

Soft spot in my heart - it was the place to get ersatz-Thai back when it was rare in this town.

Nike will be opening in the podium as well (a return to Bloor for them since they closed a Nike Town at 110 Bloor).
I'm not sure if there will be another retailer there beyond Mango.

Not that PW requires my affirmation, LOL; but I can confirm this.
Also, yes, there is one more retailer coming.........but nothing to get too excited about.

Value Village, located conveniently near Dollarama.

Wondering what's the end goal for 2 Bloor w, with lululemon upstairs. The concourse has been emptying one-by-one, with the latest exit being Game & Hobby Zone, which closed yesterday after 23 years in business.

If I recall Cumberland Terrace is being torn down for Condos.

IIRC Lululemon will have an entrance in the concourse level. So maybe that'll help bring in some traffic/new tenants.

Pretty sure the original announcement of the 2 Bloor West renovations included Nike as a tenant in the renders, before it changed to Lululemon, so I'm not surprised to see them open a store at this intersection, I guess they just switched corners. Also hoping this Mango has a men's section unlike the Eaton Centre store. Regardless, it'll be nice to finally have retail tenants at 1 Bloor East after years and years of empty storefronts (especially along Bloor).

Not surprised at that one; I've seen the owner several times berating staff. Aside from that, their selection was always terrible. Not a great game store, not a great hobby store, not a great toy store, just some mediocre Venn diagram overlap of the three. I always wondered, with the store front that they were also using upstairs as a store room, whether the place either did gangbusters online business, or was a front for money laundering.

Anine Bing is opening at the Four Seasons Hotel, in the Bay Street space previously occupied by Archives.

Scotiabank is disappointing for the corner given limited banking hours.
Is there a TD nearby?
Maybe they'll take the flagship space at The One?
Then you'll have banks on all 4 corners.

Bizarre choice. I get them re-locating here, as their existing outlet is the subject of a redevelopment proposal........but a non-prime space would have been more appropriate.
Yes, the corner of Bay/Bloor.
Please no.
I'm really hoping we get rid of Royal; CIBC is no longer right at the corner, if the fruit company takes its rightful spot, we might limit it to just the one.
