The old Nike location is The Children's Place, an inexpensive shop. Not sure if The Sporting Life crowd will shop there but I think it will survive.
I was sad Mexx closed so quick. When they closed the 2nd floor after 6 months and consolidated all merchandise on the main floor I wondered what was going on.
I am curious whether anything about new retail in the Canada Post building at Yonge & Helendale has been posted. I was reading that the farmer's market that operated on Orchard View last summer had hoped to be in front of Canada Post this summer but then it was sold for retail purposes.
The market was all set to open up shop on a piece of land in front of the Canada Post office, on Yonge Street, but unfortunately, access to that site was later denied when word came down the post office had been sold to a commercial retailer. With the property set to change hands, the federal government told Apple Tree Market they could no longer use the space.
