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".

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

http://www.vancouversun.com/business...683/story.html


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.

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

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

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...

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

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.

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.
