Woodbine Centre

[Maco in the 6]

In case you guys missed it, a clock store from the Woodbine Centre was also put up for auction:

How did the owner of Woodbine Mall get hold of this shop's inventory? Is it possible he just increased the rent one month and then when the shop couldn't pay it he just confiscated everything? Clocks Unlimited was one of the last original stores in the mall left standing, but unexpectedly closed last year.

Must be because even designer depot ditched the depot, and magianos doesn't have an m anymore. Could it be any more sketchy?

Maybe Zellers will return to the Woodbine Centre and save the mall from closing down...

Edit: Now that I think about it, they did recently close off a large section inside of Hudson Bay in Woodbine, and a sign said that renovations were coming. I wonder if they are preparing to open a Zellers within the store.

More Zellers locations could open in Hudson’s Bay stores according to a Hudson’s Bay Company spokesperson.

Zellers hasn't left the Woodbine Centre. Just go to Shop-A-Lot (lower level). Some of the items still have Zellers price tags on them.

You can't get more nostalgic than that.

Looks like Value Village, National Thrift and Salvation Army are set to have some competition.

Has anyone visited Woodbine's Amazon/Walmart refusal stores (located on the upper level - Zellers and lower level - arcade)?

A few things that I noticed from yesterday's visit to the Woodbine Centre :

* A large portion of the chairs and tables from the food court are gone.
Probably the first items to be liquidated.

* If you want to sit at the tables in the food court that are still available, you have to
provide your second dose receipt.
The area that is available is sealed off with a security guard in the middle of the food court.

* Woodbine Cinemas has been opened up.
And is being gutted out.

* Shop-A-Lot has a great deal on Del Monte canned fruit.
That was best before Jan 2021.

The Fantasy Fair is still in operation?
People were coming and going. The sounds of rides could be heard in the background.
The area wasn't closed off. Unless it was all an illusion...I was too scared to find out.

You can buy men's Leather Belts for $5 at the Amazon Refuse Centre (downstairs).
But you'd have to agree to visit the Woodbine Centre first....huh.

There was a chinese grocery truck parked outside the upper level Zellers.
Maybe it was just a coincidence. I thought the area was becoming a Doctor's Office.
The large glass windows certainly look like the type you'd see at a grocery store.
If so, get ready for Woodbine's first Asian Supermarket.

The fair was indeed open when I visited last Friday. The food court seats might have been removed for social distancing requirements, rather than liquidation.

Despite what the sign said, it turned out it wasn't a renovation after all, Hudson Bay was just prepping the first floor of their store for the vaccination clinic.

I'm interested to see what "Woodbine Cinemas" (formerly Imagine Cinemas) is going to become. The Pandemic killed off any interest
for another movie theatre company to step in. Which wouldn't matter now anyway since the owner just auctioned off the movie seats,
film projectors, sound systems and popcorn machine.
