As long as whoever moves in makes better use of the windows I'd be happy. Ideally, there'd be outward facing counter seating all along the windows (like the similarly placed Starbucks at Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo).

I hope they don't close the Marshall's Aura to move it to the Tenor. Aura has enough problems trying to fill store space in (and near) their lower food court as is, lol

The addition of Winners to Eaton Centre is just about the least interesting thing you could put in. Someone at CF got lazy or the market just sucks.

I was at the Williams Sonnoma yesterday. The staff said that Harry Rosen is also closing and Indigo will move there. Seemed weird to me.

Marshall's is not on my scorecard for The Tenor.

Back in the day Harry's was supposed to go into 2 Queen West (this is pre-COVID). I don't know what happened to that concept and if it's still in play. Harry's is around 16k square feet, which is about the same size as the new Indigo store at the Well, so would not be shocked if Harry's finally opens @ 2 Queen, and Indigo takes their old spot.

Makes sense

If Marshalls at Aura ever closes, Ikea should expand to that level as well. Does Ingka Group own the 3rd floor of the podium?
If Indigo will be moving to the current Harry Rosen space, provided that HR moves next door to 2 Queen West, that means they'll be majorly downsizing. It will also leave a rather large space vacant in the middle of the mall. Indigo is around 35K of space over their 2 floors. What retailer could potentially go in that location?

Is a new staircase/escalators being installed in the main atrium? Sure looks that way, as it's perfectly situated with the 3rd and 2nd level.
"If" we're playing the "if" game, then let's add a few layers for additional fun.
Indigo shuttered the 2nd floor entrance (American Girl) before the holidays, which would lead us to wonder why. On the counter discussion, why would Indigo have signed a deal with Columbus Cafe to open a new cafe in the space of the vacated Starbucks if it knew that they were moving?
Harry Rosen is definitely hurting for traffic, but does HR need heavy traffic (think Uniqlo/H&M) to make budget? I do miss the Disney Store in that spot - but I don't think that brand is coming back anytime soon.
Was 2 Queen impacted with the upcoming Ontario Line? If anyone was signed to go in there - wouldn't the disruption for the next 5-7 years be too much to handle.

Given there's already a Winners closer to that Marshall's than TEC (the one in College Park), I think it'll be fine. Both stores seem to do well enough where they are that i don't think they'd wanna move anything. Plus Marshall's seems to be benefitting from some of the traffic going to IKEA. Lots of people checking out both to do home improvements.

I don't think they want 3 Winners stores so close together though. Something just might give...

Random thought, since IKEA is the landlord for the Marshalls store at College Park and IKEA is doing quite well there. What are the chances that IKEA wants to take over the Marshalls store and TXJ is looking at moving the Marshalls to Eatons?
Every time I’ve visited that Marshalls it’s never busy and their selection seems very sparse compared to some of the other locations in the downtown area.

Another random thought: If Indigo really is moving, what's to stop the current Indigo space from becoming a Marshall's?

Don't forget there is already a Tim Horton's and another food place on the Dollarama level. If the Beer Store closes (due to beer becoming available everywhere) this also frees up space for a new food court, adding to what's already there.
(just a thought)
