Simons

With Simons, the label "department store" always feels a bit wrong because no other department store that I can think of is so heavily based around private label items. It's technically correct, but the impression of a department store most people think of doesn't fit here, if that makes sense. In many ways it's more like a private label clothing/home goods store (like a much nicer H&M in some ways) that happens to sell some other major brands as well.

As an aside, this might be the most excited I have ever been for a store opening in downtown Toronto. I love Simons.
 
I’d also love if they brought a cute little Montreal cafe or Mandy’s salads inside Simon’s.

I really enjoyed the bar at Nordstrom. Haha!
The location in Ottawa has an in-house cafe! So hopefully we get the same here. I could see them using the windows on the 3rd floor that look into the main mall galleria for that space.

That cafe has been closed for years. I think they've abandoned the concept of having cafes inside their stores.

The Simons at Square One opened with a cafe. I swear it has had hoarding covering it up since Covid though.
