    Target

    There's nothing left immediately adjacent to the retail portion of the development but, besides the plot of land mentioned by afrasen (at Amtheson and Falbourne), there's also a very large plot just east of Mavis, between Cantay and the 401. If they decide to build, I suspect the latter would be...

    Toronto non-mall retail (Odds & Ends)

    Why? The cost of producing and shipping CD's makes up only a small portion of the cost. Most of it goes to the artists, the production costs, the promotional costs, and the record company's bottom line.

    Mississauga (non-mall) Retail

    Speaking of locations that have changed tenants on a regular basis, I notice that the building at the corner of Enfield and Kariya is undergoing some minor renovations on the outside. Any word on its latest incarnation? Was it originally a Lone Star?

    Marshalls

    The other two are Leaside (near Laird & Eglinton) and Scarborough (near Warden & Eglinton). They will be followed by Mississauga (Heartland) and Ajax.

    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    For some reason, the quoted text didn't appear in my message. I was replying to the discussion on the previous page about a possible location for Zara at Square One.

    What about the other retails outlets that will be built near Crate & Barrel? The original plan just said retail and restaurants.

    Car Buffs is moving to a location across from the Tim Horton's. Which pet shop closed? The one near the lower level entrance of Walmart is still open.

    What should they be investing? All three teams (I don't include the Marlies in this discussion) are subject to a salary cap and all three teams spend at or very close to the cap limit. The hockey and basketball teams both hired pretty high status people to run their franchises, too. All of them...

    Re: The new Oceans... Not sure if you've had a chance to shop there yet but it has become my favourite Mississauga supermarket. The selection of most things is as good or better than T&T and the prices for prepared foods are fantastic. Parking is always much better than T & T (fewer...

    One pension plan sold to another and I misread his post. OTOH, they aren't very loaded compared to the pension plan from which they bought the mall.

    It's a lot more than that. Their assets were worth almost $100 billion last year and that doesn't include $13 billion in investment income and teachers contributions in the last fiscal year.

    Mississauga (non-mall) Retail

    I've shopped there three times now and I quite like the place. The hot food portions were actually pretty substantial and reasonably priced. While they use a lot of dark wood, the lighting is good so I actually feel more relaxed shopping there than most other supermarkets. I didn't find the...

    Mississauga (non-mall) Retail

    I finally had a chance to visit this week and I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is a mix of Demetre and Timothy's and the menu was actually pretty varied for such a small place. Besides the usual coffee and pastry selection, there were smoothies (with a decent number of options), gelato...

    Japanese items/decor/etc

    JTown used to have a very good 100 yen style shop (the equivalent of our dollar stores but a little pricier) but it closed down last year. There are a few nick nacks in the small clothing shop near the east end of the strip but nothing worth making the trip unless you are also heading there to...

    It does though it moved to a smaller space a few units to the west (i.e. in the direction of Bass Pro) a couple of years ago.

    Check out One's Better Living if you're ever in Vaughan Mills. it's a mix of Japanese stationery, nicknacks, pottery, accessories, cheap kitchen/bathroom/bedroom goods, organizers, etc.

    Toronto non-mall retail (Odds & Ends)

    I haven't been there in a while but I don't remember seeing any Kit-Kat bars the last time I visited. OTOH, I have occasionally seen some of them at the T & T in Mississauga.

    Hamilton - Tim Horton's Field

    Has anyone notified Jeff Hunt? His group has already been awarded the rights to a CFL team in Ottawa. As far as bluffs go, this is a pretty pathetic one.

    The new Japanese restaurant finally opened yesterday. It's Tako Sushi. They have one other location on Don Mills, a little north of Lawrence.

    Speaking of Burrito Boyz, when did the Cooksville location open and which store did it replace in the strip mall?
