That Alice Fazoolis on Adelaide was rennovated extensively just a few years ago.

Construction crew are digging out the floor of the former Levi's on Yonge Street just north of Dundas.

If you peak inside, it appears they are reconfiguring the space for something new...

I believe they are pouing more concrete, so that the foundation can support more ads to placed on the roof.

There is definitely a new retail outlet opening in the former Levi's location on Yonge Street. Construction is in full swing within the building. All the 'for lease' signs have been removed.

^ The old Levi's store will be converted to a 2 storey restaurant. Yay! The more restaurants on Yonge, the better.

I tried Panera a couple of times in Pittsburgh; they have good sandwiches. Not sure about the location, but with Ryerson nearby it could work.

Not sure what's going on here. Are they planning on cutting the HMV in half.

It does sound like they're shrinking HMV.

They are. "The Annex" which was added in the 1990s will be no more.

Great news - I love Panera! Their expansion in GTA has been sloooow.

I think they're going bankrupt ... they're closing in NYCC and I recall reading about them closing all their Ottawa locations.

This is the north-most retail unit in Lumiere. They're working away inside, but no indication of who the tenant is.

And of course, don't forget that Idomo's in the same family...

 

[samsonyuen]

DeBoer's only had one near the Ikea in Ottawa. I had no idea it was the same family as Idomo!
