There's work going on in the former Bentley location in the Cornwall.

As I was walking through the former Sears store this morning I noticed a PCL employee walking near me. I asked him if anything was going in there, and he said he couldn't tell me. I then asked him when 'it' might open. A year? He told me 'it' might be open around Christmas but it could be later. He told me they should put a go-cart track in there, and laughed. Didn't someone in here already suggest that a while back? Considering the bare bones state of this space it would take a long time to build new retail, so if 'it' might be opening by Christmas, it can't require much in the way of upgrades. Maybe it will be a go-cart track?

Does anyone know when Landmark Cinemas will be opening in the east? Last date I heard was August 1st or has that been pushed back?
Seems like they still have some work to do, from looking at the outside. |

From what I recall, someone in here mentioned that MAC Cosmetics was going to go in that space but for whatever reason, that never happened. This is just a scenario in my mind, but malls like to increase rents when leases are up, and perhaps Bentley decided to move out because of that? Now, with several empty stores maybe the mall offered them a better deal to come back, seeing that no one else wants that small, oddly shaped space? Also, the Calendar Club has opened what appears to be a year 'round location further down the mall, so they will no longer be interested in the Bentley space. |
^Entirely possible. I'm not sure what legs the mall owners have to stand on because the demand for retail space is not exactly high these days.

Also, between warehouse shopping (such as Costco) and online shopping, much of the traditional middle-class department store experience has moved elsewhere. |

Costco was founded in 1976. One could argue the 1990s were the beginning of their most disruptive effect. |
Bentley has already re-opened in the Cornwall.
