I was checking out Google's streetview of the mall and I realized that in the map view they display the floorplan of the lower level, with many of the store names. (I couldn't see if there was a way to show the upper level)

Looks like it's the only mall in the area that's been done so far - not even Square One or Yorkdale has been detailed yet.

Just thought it was cool.

The new 'Anchor' tenant that the Shoppers and HMV (along with a few others) were relocated / closed for is a massive 2 storey Forever 21 with access directly to the exterior. Much bigger than the Mapleview location. It even has a small Men's dept. A number of other new stores are now open too. New Store list: http://www.limeridge.ca/en/directory...NewStores.aspx

Really wish they opened a Nordstrom or Zara here. I heard Nordstrom was looking at this mall as a potential location (because it is owned by Cadillac Fairview).

With the way Sears is selling leases back to Cadillac and Cambridge it may happen.
That Sears has been in a sorry state for years.

^ Highly doubt they'll sell that Sears unless Sears goes completely bankrupt.

Sears recently renovated the Limeridge location to the new format.

Hm, apparently it's been longer than I thought since I was in there.

Mapleview is more likely to be sold than Limeridge.

The store was redone in 2012.

Sears Canada going completely bankrupt (or at least shutting down) isn't non-zero at this point.

Well Sears Limeridge is definitely closing. A friend who works at the mall talked with the mall manager recently and according to him a Keg and movie theatre is coming.

I don't see how a cinema could make a return to Lime Ridge, and especially not in the existing Sears building.

That would need to be torn down with a new cinema built from the ground up.

And I don't know how, or if, Cineplex or Landmark could get in there, given the assets they own at the Meadowlands, Heritage Greene and Jackson Square respectively.

So I'd take that cinema concept as replacement for Sears as a grain of salt for now....The Keg, however, I could see going in there, even if there's one on Upper James....unless they want out of Upper James.

=P

I highly doubt a movie theatre is going in there. Makes absolutely no sense with 2 already on the mountain as it is.

I think a Simons would struggle, but a Winners Homesense indigo and a suite of sit down roadhouse places, Kelleys keg, Montanas, etc could carve up space nicely.

Simon's has scaled back there expansion plans, apparently there new stores outside of Quebec are not hitting the numbers they expected.

I really do think bix box appearal retail is fading, so unless its a discount like a winners, I expect these new Sears openings to be chopped up and made smaller retail store fronts.

.
Simons has been deliberately bucking the trend that points to a overall serious decline in the department store sector.

It's almost like walking a tightrope I am pretty sure.

They're still pretty solid but as you suspect they may be cooling their jets now.

Any big store that doesn't embrace online, is dead in my opinion. Very little can survive against amazon and walmart. I ALL of my shopping at Dollarama, Walmart and Amazon

I don't even think I've ever seen one of those cars driving around before. I have no idea who they think is going to use those things.
