Toronto Eaton Centre

I feel like 2 Queen West isn't tacky enough for Cheesecake Factory. They prefer their locations to look like a dictators palace, not a nice heritage restoration building. But maybe they could have finally learned to have some taste.
There’s a Cheesecake Factory at the base of the Hancock Tower in Chicago. It’s quite nice.

Couple of notes:
- Victoria Secret has closed for renovations and has opened a temp store in the former Club Monaco.
- Skechers has installed signage for a new location in the former aaniin pop-up / Free People location on level 2 - uncertain if the existing 1st floor location (beside Levi's and across from B2) will be renovated or if this is a permanent move.
- Rudsak, directly across from the new Skechers, has closed permanently.
- Dolce Vita has opened in the former PLUS / Vessi (pop-up) location.
- Ever New is getting refurbished.

Couple of news items:
Lovisa is opening in the former Sunglass Hut (next to Showcase on L1)
Bailey Nelson is moving from next to Apple to the former Thomas Sabo
Ever New reopened after a short renovation on L2
Urban Customz relocated to the former TimShop pop-up.

And yesterday - this was announced online. Not sure the exact location, but it wouldn't shock me if it was either in the 2 Queen (recently McCain Olympic pop-up) or where EB Games did their pop-up at the L1 Queen St Entrance.

Still a few vacancies with no announced tenants:
- Former Urban Customz (next to Canadian Naturalist)
- Former Bagle Stop at L1 Dundas entrance
- Former Rudsak on L2

And question marks for currently existing or temp spaces:
- Skechers (as they are moving to former aaniin / Free People on L2)
- Aritzia temp space (former Disney Store) on L2
- Victoria Secret temp space (former Club Monaco on L3)
- RW&CO temp space (former Banana Republic Mens on L2)

And...HBC?
