im quite sad in a way cuz i use to buy stuff there when i was working near there (like movies & stuff like that) but after that i just started watching them online

really like want uniqlo (like it will ever happen), there heat tech jackets are like super warm & light as well

Lego store :D

Make that place a motherfucking Krispy Kreme please

targets main gimmick is that they get designers to make cheap lines for their stores

they've developed a name of being poshy-cheap

but i wouldnt be surprised if they did take that spot, considering they're planning on 150 stores in Canada by 2013

it seems like the perfect spot to promote themselves

they're only closing 5 stores in Canada even though they "sold" the rest

the Robson/Richmond store will close by January and until then the sales have started yesterday (saturday) 20-50% off

oh and a analyst expects the location to be split into smaller parcels

i don't even think its "poshy-cheap" the store's vibe is in-line with zellers, not even a walmart...would give vancouver a really cheap image if it went in there.

It's like Virgin Megastore closing all over again :(

went there last night after having dinner downtown, the markdowns were nothing special, most things were 10% off regular price so it wasn't cheap or anything

TNT please


:troll:

:seriously: okay now i dont feel bad at all for them

the only thing i found that was good was the 2010 olympic hockey games in blu-ray for $10.

Cheesecake Factory
Krispy Kreme
Jack in the box.


Put those 3 in there, and that little corner will be golden. Forever.

open a SOGO

they had that since a month ago

fry's electronics with US pricing to dent the nearby futureshop's business, if not five guys burger & in-n-out please
:fullofwin:

nothing really worth making the trip for.

Anyone have an approximate cost for rent there?
I would say at least $20-30G's a month?

What...you mean pretty much the highest profile retail space in Vancouver?

:seriously: $20-30G? That probably just scratches the surface.

20-30gs is probably the electricity bill :D

rent is probably $125,000 considering articles are saying rent is probably 20-30$ a square foot and its a 50,000 square foot property...



last time i was in a target was like 15years ago ish and i thought it was worse than a zellers; but i was watching a show doing a business profile on Target and poshy-cheap seems how its marketed these days and the stores they showed + the designer lines gave off that impression

Haha I wouldn't mind it... :D

I have reason to believe that the Apple flagship store is looking to open at the corner of Robson & Granville.

IMO, only clothing retailers (F21, Uniqlo) or perhaps Apple is capable of pulling enough sales to justify the rent. I'd estimate the rent to be around 2~3M a year.

Yesss :sweetjesus:

Not like it would happen though :okay:

Rent along robson is going for about $240 a sq ft. The article estimates that HMV is going for about $60-80 a sq ft, making it around 3-4mil a year.

Cost of rent is about 2mill a year. I would know cause I work there. Basically we ate closing cause the lease is up and the past few years we were losing money on the rent
