Checked out the HMV pop-up store at Toys-r-Us recently, which would seem to just be carrying overstock from Sunrise Records given that that's their corporate number on the barcode

Based on past reactions from @Towered among others (and myself) certain private-label (store brand) product developers have fumbled a bunch in the the last 18 months.
That said, I thought I'd do my thing and share some of the stuff you will see on grocery shelves shortly, if its not there yet:

Interesting to see today that Metro is leaving Air Miles effective July 21.
They are starting up their own in-house rewards program "Moi Rewards" (perfectly walking that French/English line).
I don't use Air Miles, but my parents do and I'll have to tell them to cash in ASAP as they certainly aren't flying anywhere or shopping at H&M anytime soon.
EDIT: This was apparently announced in April but only with a "late 2024" end date, so clearly they have greatly accelerated the timeline.

Looks like it's mostly an underground unit (peep the stairs heading down through the glass doors), which IMO is a great fit for Value Village since they don't really do window displays anyway.

Retail Insider has an article about Uniqlo opening 3 more stores in the GTA. But at the end it quotes someone that a major international retailer is entering the Canadian market. So here is my wish list: Galleries Lafayettes, Seko, Selfridges or Brown Thomas from Ireland.

Brown Thomas is owned by Selfridges (or some private equity shop that it bought it from the Weston's); speaking of I assume the major entrant is Primark, meaning that much more of our dollars will be going to a single family.

Primark would be brilliant...unfortunately the Weston's don't need anymore of our money.
