Yup I think you have good intuition on that.

The unit # on the permit indicates it’ll be in the now vacated space to the right of the entrance to the washrooms in the phase 3 food court. Maybe having a separate dining area in the food court will allow it to be closed on Sundays?

Simons is back to normal except for the temporary partial entry/exit to the parkade.

Anyone know what those temp walls are for? They have been up since before Christmas and I'm not 100% sure what they're working on.

Chick-fil-a owner is solidly behind Trump support according to credible reports in the U.S. -- taints the product line.

 

[Gronk!]

I would rather support local (e.g. Ralph's, Rob's) or even KFC.
I'll only consider Chick-fil-A if I can't get anything better.

Agreed, don't forget Seoul Fried as well!

Well, for something less controversial, there's a Paris Baguette opening within the Starlight Casino where The Buffet used to be.

Interesting. I wonder if Paris Baguette will also be opening at their sister location, the Grand Villa Casino in ICE District?
Their Whyte Ave location is always packed when I go by.

Hard to say at this point, but it would be nice to have one of these in the ICE District.

Uncle Tetsu Japanese Cheesecakes opening in the space across from Phase 3 Starbucks (old Pearsons Berry Farm location). I’ve had them in Toronto and they’re not bad.

WEM right by Winners/Homesense. It takes all the way to the old Dollar Tree space.

Recreational uses such as this are actually a pretty clever reuse of these large retail spaces. Surprised we haven't seen more of this happen in other locations.

 

[Gronk!]
