The J.Crew store at Yorkdale will be the one remaining in all of Canada, now that the Bloor/Yorkville store has closed and their Robson Street location is closing at the end of the month.

According to this article, a Yorkdale store employee mentioned they’re not aware of any plans to close that unit as of yet.

That image is flipped horizontally.

Here's the correct orientation:

Bottom left is the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway (better known as the 401)

Bottom right is Dufferin Street

The top left has the Spadina Expressway (nowadays known as the Allen)

Thanks!
I thought that the Loblaws wing looked far away from the Spadina Expressway (Yorkdale Station).

The forecourts of Simpson's and Eaton's were things of real beauty; it's a real shame they were removed.

Diesel Opens Yorkdale Storefront, Only Standalone Full-Priced Location in Canada

Italian clothing brand Diesel has opened a new storefront at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre. It’s now the only standalone full-priced Diesel store in Canada after other locations have shuttered since last year. Diesel has had several different locations at Yorkdale since 2012.

The new 2,435-square-foot Yorkdale Diesel features an LED facade that makes the store quite noticeable. The Diesel store is located between Innisfree and Oak + Fort in a retail space vacated by Reiss last year.

Diesel once had a bigger presence in Canada. Last year the brand shut several units including a flagship on Yorkville Avenue in Toronto as well as a large store on Rue de la Montagne in Montreal. Diesel still operates outlet stores in suburban Toronto and Montreal. The brand is also carried at multi-brand retailers in Canada such as Hudson’s Bay.

I went inside Yorkdale today and the security guard told me that I cannot stay inside the mall for over two hours.

Not surprised. They probably don't want it turned into a homeless shelter.
