There is a new LCBO going in next to the new Shopper's in the old food court area.
LCBO... Shoppers... sigh. I'm losing hope that things will change in Ottawa. Was hoping for vibrant storefronts to new clothing shops (like the Forever 21) or nice restaurants, etc... Not a drug store (to be fair though, it was already there) and another freakin LCBO. I'm happy about Simons and Forever 21 opening up to the streets.. hoping for more though.

The Shoppers is moving so that a new vibrant storefront can be created on Rideau.
Oy, people. As a resident of the immediate area, I don't want every storefront to be a 'destination store' or 'novelty shop'. Basic amenities like drug stores, banks, supermarkets, LCBOs, etc. are needed for living in the area to be convienient. I for one don't want to live in a place where I'm surrounded by clothing shops and restaurants but have to go over 2km for a roll of toilet paper.

Simons is actually on floor 2, 3 and 4 (maybe). Ground floor will be a Joey's which might have a terrace on the new pedestrian Nicholas.
So what Rideau Street would look like without traffic lights, newspaper boxes, signs, garbage cans, garbage, graffiti, buses, non-luxury cars, taxis bicycles or the bottom 99% of income earners.

So we know where Simons is going, but on that last pick, H&M is there on the second floor, where we think Simons will be. I guess we won't really know for sure what goes where until closer to the opening dates.

No one says you need to go 2km to buy toilet paper. Shoppers and LCBO should be in the mall; they just shouldn't be taking up limited storefront space on a street you're trying to market as a high street.

Not sure we are quite at the point where space on Rideau is limited.
High streets are supposed to have services as well.

They show H&M on the second floor of "Ogilvy" and on the first floor under the art wall.
As of now, we have no confirmation H&M will even be at Rideau. At this point, I don't think it will.

H&M is flourishing in Canada and expanding big time in the last 5+ years, and just arrived in the Ottawa area a year ago. For sure, 100% Rideau will get one, no doubt about it. I would bet money on this one. If Gatineau, Bayshore and Place d'Orleans have one, its only fitting for Rideau to get it too.
h&m is supposed to be going where shoppers is now. the unit is going to have the back wall knocked out and it'll continue into the addition. the sign in the window on the mock-ups are most likely for advertising purposes. makes the pictures look better!
