Walking through the store again I noticed how poorly applied the directory showing what is on each floor onto the columns. I dunno if they just had staff do it who don't know how these vinyls work, or if it was poorly made, but it just looks really bad and obvious. I can see that signage falling off due to the poor application. Unless it isn’t permanent. But either way it just looks bad. I had noticed it in some of the pics posted up thread, but looking closely in person I’d say it looks even worse than the pics.

I got the sense they were temporary as the proper ones hadn't arrived yet. They were alrady peeling off, as you noted.

If Simons were to open any more GTHA stores in the interim, my guesses would be STC or Mapleview (Burlington). Pacific Centre indeed seems the most logical nationally.

Also, I think there's a bit of the old Nordrom's store at the Eaton Centre not being used by Nike, Simons or Eataly. I saw it in one of the plans. I think it's on the second floor. If so, that's a potential small expansion possibility for either Eataly or Simons down the road.

I wasn’t sure if that was Nike’s stock room but it’s not indicated in the square footage total and It’s also about 5000 sq.ft. so probably not.

My dream scenario would be that Simons takes over the BMO space and creates a grand entrance in the Dundas atrium. It’d be a 133,000 sq. ft store, not unreasonably large. But adding that 5,000 sq. ft space is probably more realistic as it would match Yorkdale’s 117,000 sq. ft.
