Foosh is not really my style, but it's very refreshing to see another clothing option downtown after years of decay on that front. And in an "urban" (i.e. not City Centre Mall) location, too! I'm actually shocked.

Amazing. How Downtown didn't have a 'lifestyle' store until now drove me nuts.

A small Alo or Lululemon in Ice District would probably do well now.

^ after Lulu closed their Whyte store in favour of expanding their footprint in WEM, I don't think we'll see another urban Lulu store in Edmonton anytime soon.

I think it could do well downtown. But whether Icon 2 is the best location is questionable and the streetscape, doors and store layout will be key to making this work at Icon. Foosh could benefit if other compatible retail open adjacent or in close proximity.

I think they are hoping for foot traffic (obviously). Icon 2 is dead in the middle of everything on 104th st. I'm surprised this location didn't rent out before. Either way, it's a better option than the previous service based store (Khrome). Kelly's Pub has been rocking it lately and is always packed. Arguably the best pub in Edmonton. And the Oilers are going to make another deep run. I think all those things give a business like Foosh the confidence to "roll the dice" on a location like this. It's definitely a huge deal though, as it is a vote of confidence in the neighbourhood.

Keep in mind that Strada Streetwear (similar to Foosh) used to be where Cavern was 15-20yrs ago and had a good, steady clientele.
Foosh will own the Downtown lifestyle/scene retail.

^Looking forward to it, especially for sneakers.
Disney vibe in the Square was amazing. We had to sit under the trees it was so busy. Lots of families, kids running everywhere. Great way to spend an evening and the ESO loves doing it.

Foosh in 104 could also attract students from Norquest and MacEwan. Hopefully it inspires others to set up shop in the area. I still think downtown has an untapped student consumer base that's only set to grow year on year.
