If I hear of anything feasible from some of the guys over there it'll be nice.

I know Canadian Tire was planning to move to the new part of the park so that is a possibility and would explain grey paint

Ugh! That would be a shame. Isn't that what the monstrosity they're building on Windsor is?

Not so much storage as vehicle maintenance on the Windsor St. building. Although I'm sure they'll store some things in it.

Any rumours on what will be replacing the old Pizza Delight (or was it Pizza Hut?) at Halifax Shopping Centre?

Looks like Genji Sushi, the all you can eat place in the newish development on the corner of Wyse and Boland in Dartmouth, has either gone out of business or is on extended vacation.

Jstaleness · #**1028** Posted **Jun 26, 2013, 12:21 AM**

Wow, I was in that area a few weeks ago and the place was actually busy. I guess it's not busy all time if they have closed.

Canadian Tire?

Looks almost like the new Cdn Tire colours?? I cant see the Military taking it over all the way out there in the park.

Genji was open today

Canadian Tire would spend the money to make the store look like that
with the big Glass entrance

I was by Old Rona today.. I dont think its going to be Cdn Tire. THe colour over top of Rona Blue is more a "Blue-gray" than Black as it appears. Almost a "Navy Gray". Maybe it's just primer over the old blue.

I still dont think that building would be a good match for any military storage. Too much glass. How do you secure it?

Glass front Cdn Tire is really nice though!

Phalanx · #**1033** Posted **Jun 27, 2013, 1:00 AM**

I don't know that the grey is so much a matter of it becoming something new as it is fully debranding it. Getting rid of the Rona colours.

Anyway, for what it's worth, I work just down the road from it, so I'll keep an eye on it.

Empire exits movie theatre business

Empire Company Ltd. of Stellarton is getting out of the movie business.

The company announced on Thursday that its Empire Theatres division is selling its 24 theatres and 170 screens in Atlantic Canada to Cineplex Inc. The deal also includes two theatres with 48 screens in Ontario.

The value of the deal was set at $200 million.

While I can see how this makes good business sense, I've always seen Empire Theatres as the Nova Scotian theater and will be sad to see it go.

They are starting to dismantle the old NSLC on Agricola. Hopefully this redevelopment will speed up. I would love to see it done this year.

HalifaxRetales · #**1036** Posted **Jun 28, 2013, 12:01 PM**

don't think it's coming down just refaced

Some people probably said that same thing when Acadian Lines was bought by a Montreal company, and we all know how well THAT worked out.

Haven't heard anything other than the mall wants to keep it under raps. It could be a sit-down restaurant or a store. Only time will tell, though I have heard rumors of Guess, Michael Kors and Steve Madden.
