Oh, I don't know about that. The mall was packed on Sunday when I was there.. The mall needs to finally get that renovation going first, and then get some of the 'upper class' retailers after that.

Speaking of renovation... Found this in the Mississauga Life Magazine website:

Exciting is a good theme for the renovation...I find EMTC such a boring place to be. The horrible layout doesn't help, to be sure, but the stores, design, etc. are just so...bland....

The 80s decor doesn't help either. I feel like I'm in a brat pack movie whenever I'm there.
I've said it before: getting rid of the mini-golf course was a huge mistake.

Finally EMTC gets a long-needed renovation. They couldn't just stand still like that.
That said, we'll have to see what this renovation entails. Does it feature any expansion? Or making EMTC less of a mall full of dead ends?

Time will tell.. Since it's in this months issue of the magazine, I guess we'll hear more info sometime in the coming days/weeks.
You'll also be happy to hear the Toys R Us Express is just temporary. Should close after Christmas.

What happened to HMV in Square One? Said they moved to location across from La Senza but I couldn't find it. No Starstruck and now no HMV. Damn.

It's actually where Starstruck was. It's across from the "La Senza Express," confusing, I know.

The EMTC reno/expansion will be huge. On par with Yorkdale's.

I think the goal is to have it become the Yorkdale of the western GTA. So I would imagine more focus on high-end fashion retailers...but who would choose to locate there in the current state of the mall? It's odd that they've tried the whole fashion-focus since the first reno, and it's never properly taken off. The demographics of the area are right for it...probably as good as Yorkdale's, but it's just never worked.I think the new owners are ready to do more than Cadillac Fairview ever was in a position to.
Regardless of what transpires, I will always remember that place when it first opened. The video walls, stupidly-hard mini golf, Cineplex...good times. Oh, and it was in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, so it shall live on in film forever...

Does 20 Vic have the resources to pull it off either though?
Is there going to be an addition though?

Don't forget that 20VIC were the ones that pulled the major Yorkdale overhaul together. They received many awards for the reconfiguration of the vacant Eatons into the atrium run. Oxford has been able to land a lot of sexy names lately at Yorkdale and push the sales/sf into the stratosphere but some may say timing had something to do with it.

It's not owned by 20Vic...it's actually owned by the Ontario Pension Board. 20Vic manages it. And the Pension Board has the resources, for sure. But yeah, 20Vic has a good record with Yorkdale...
