I'm interested in what happens to the current Holt Renfrew store, a beautiful art deco building. Since Saks is planning on coming to Montreal, perhaps they would be interested?
Holts is staying where it is, as is Ogilvy. Both department stores are owned by Selfridges, and they plan on keeping both prime locations. Ogilvy is currently slowly going through transformations where they are trying to attract a more younger clientele (go visit the basement floor), while still maintaining their loyal older clientele (the grandmothers of the Holts shoppers. lol). Rumours are that Ogilvy will completely get rid of the designer furniture floor, and introduce more designer (clothing) brands that they currently don't hold.
