Indeed. The interior isn’t finished so there’s nothing special to see.

Seeing it in person does dispel the idea that this could be a flagship store of any sort. It’s definitely too small for an Apple Store as some have suggested. It’ll make a nice restaurant one of these days.
 
more details here about 2 queen:
 
That second-floor McDonald's, I once had a personal-sized McPizza there. The McDonald's was facing The Bay. Yes, being a Millennial, I was too late for Simpsons (the only Simpsons I knew was the yellow suburban American family on television, not the department store), but early enough to have McPizza.

I remember the McDonalds. Always thought it was strange the mall having two.

I don't really remember the Simpsons across the road (aside from Today's Special) but do remember the Simpsons at Woodbine. My mother still had a Simpsons card in her wallet for at least a decade after the shutdown, and they were still honoured by The Bay.
 
Following up on this @TossYourJacket . It turns out the RW&Co at the top of the map near Apple is their permanent location. There’s a sign on the construction hoarding in the vacant spot showing that that’s where they moved to.
So the reason I'm a little skeptical is the new store still says "Pop-Up" on the windows. It also was a very low effort reno. No changes inside, the outside is clearly blue film over the old Banana Republic doorways. Wondering if it might be they put up a moved sign for now because it's taking time to rearrange the walls, etc to create the new space (since it was previously divided into two units since it's half of their old space and part of the AX store) and then build the new store, so the former BR location will be there longer than a usual temporary store, more like a semi-permanent one, but they will move back to the south end of the mall eventually. Also the fact they expanded the "moved" signage to include space that was not part of the old store, and it's been up for months (longer than CF usually allows) makes me wonder. I was just thinking about this because I was walking through today on my commute and the signage at both locations feels weird for a store that moved months ago.

Who knows.

...makes me wonder if it was the brickwork or the structure itself causing breakaway crack.
