Old Lammles?

Old Lammles?

No, it's the smaller stores right next to Pottery Barn. I think it use to be Call It Spring, Nyx Cosmetics and Maxime's Jewels, but it looks like this space is being consolidated for Victoria Secret and they have some of their branding on the construction hoarding outside already.

Uniqlo is opening on Friday August 25th

Uniqlo opened their first Calgary location at Chinook today. Videos are circulating on X and Instagram and the line ups were crazy.

Noticed the old London Drugs on 8th has a development permit on the windows. Anyone know anything about what is going in there?

Noticed Structube on 17th has vacated their spot. Sad to see such a large space empty on 17th. Hopefully something goes in there soon.

Caught a brief glimpse of the inside renovations and based on the colors used I believe a Dollarama is going in here.

 

[Colinfill]

Haha that would mean 2 Dollaramas downtown, 2 in the Beltline and 1 in Mission

In this economy I imagine they're higher up people's lists of places to shop.

 

[ByeByeBaby]

One thing about Dollarama that is a little underrated in urban communities is that they provide a really broad range of goods, which is convenient for households who don't want to make the trip out to a suburban mall. It's not generally great stuff, but sometimes I don't want the 5-star bulletproof tarp used in 9 out of 10 Everest expeditions, I just need a blue plastic sheet to keep dust off something in my storage unit or hold a space at Folk Fest.

Good news for Calgary's retail CRE: Demand outstrips supply

Elevated interest rates and rising construction costs are among the factors creating a challenging retail development sector in Calgary, but optimism reigns because there simply isn’t enough space to satisfy demand.

Retail sales seem to be going strong in Calgary.
