Winners all around!

There we go, its public now..........
But some here guessed correctly awhile ago in response to my tease; here:
Toronto Eaton Centre
Hmmm...I have to say that I'm a bit shocked that they're closing. What store would want the same large 25K sq ft space like Old Navy? I don't think that Aritzia or Sephora would want to move down there from up on Level 3. Is it being turned into a restaurant instead? Cheesecake Factory...

I wonder though..
How well a Winners do here? I know Markville, Dufferin and Upper Canada Malls all have one however they all seem quite barren. They are all large open stores with more space than people.
Personally, I am on the fence. It may get some traffic being in the Eaton Centre but on the other hand if the quality of the incoming merchandise is iffy they may not last long.
The issue with Winners is that the stores are highly dependent on what merchandise they get. Not all stores have the same products or selection. Take the suburban stores vs the College Park store for example.
If done correctly this could be a win but if they treat it like the Yorkville or One York stores it will close quickly.

I find some winners are much better than others (Sherway or Leaside) for example. Ive seen some "viral" TIKTOKs and they have shown some designer brands like golden goose or gucci so it creates hype and draws traffic. Whether you find anything or not, part of the "discovery".
But usually Winners are a disorganized mess and more frustrating to sort through...

Winners -because there aren't enough of them in this area of the downtown core. It's quickly becoming the pot store of the retail sector.

So, shall we start taking guesses as to which store is replacing Guess?

Is the Winners in The Tenor staying?

Not sure. My instinct says 'no'; but then again..... I don't have the deets on that as yet.

Due to the smaller footprint, I suspect the TEC location may be fashion-only, without the housewares.

T&T is going into Panda, not Tenor

Just a theory...Winners on Level 2 of The Tenor is just over 25K square feet as well, so it's possible that they're leaving for the Old Navy space in TEC, which is the same size. The Ballroom Bowl is supposed to take at least 15K sq ft of the food court above on Level 3, so could they be eventually moving some of the existing food court tenants down to where Winners is currently?

Maybe they think TEC is a more secure environment?
