Another reason we should build a new bridge to the east with a proper alignment while this one still works

Maybe they are taking their time so they don't get shut down by AHS again

Maybe they are taking their time so they don't get shut down by AHS again

I realize its still not easy to get good retail tenants around here, but the temporary coffee shop for a few years is kind of beneath what I expect from a building like this.

I suppose they still do have a bit of time to still be opening in 2024, maybe they can just change the sign again or AHS will resolve things.

That Ace location is quite busy everytime I stop by during work hours, they cannot open their permanent spot fast enough, the kiosk is getting old.

Another store closing down

Foot traffic in the indoor retail areas won't drastically improve until there is a greater concentration of residents nearby. All of these DT retail RE owners that refuse to support their own spaces by adding residential are going to get killed. It's a disastrous business model.

The EDBA should advocating and encouraging residential development from their members.

Honestly it seems like a lot of these indoor retail areas cater more towards office workers than anything else. I didnt even know there were stores in these areas till I started exploring the pedway system.

This store has been here a long time, so I wonder if the owner is retiring. But Manulife and its upscale focus has been particularly hard hit and has had trouble adapting to the changing downtown environment.

Interestingly, there actually was more thriving retail here a couple decades ago, before more residential was added in the core or nearby, so I don't think that is real problem or adding more residential is a magic solution.

Yes, the owner is retiring. So that's why it's closing down after 40 years.
