But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

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 http://www.vancouversun.com/business...683/story.html
oh and a analyst expects the location to be split into smaller parcels

20-30gs is probably the electricity bill
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... Quote:

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.
