Downtown

[IanO]

It's one of the hidden gems for parking on busy nights for sure.

Accessibility is good. Yes you need to take the piss smelling elevator to access the pedway but its easy to get in and out of after an event.

Foosh soft opening on the weekend.

 

[Gronk!]

Hopefully they'll last much longer than Good Goods

 

[northlands]

Well, they did take a bit of an opposite approach relative to Good Goods, wherein they opted for a killer location w/ a smaller space and what looks like a fairly simple TI job.

They're running a bit of a different stock than their Whyte store as well, guessing a bit more tailored to what they think the downtown crowd might be into.

Stock List (per their website)​

Arc’teyrx / ASICS / adidas / Saucony / Gramicci / Our Sister / Jungles Jungles / Fucking Awesome / Beach Brains / Victoria HK / Polar Skate Co / Reebok

 

[IanO]

Can't wait to see their Adidas offerings to avoid buying online.

^Would this be that long-vacant two storey brick building just north of the gas station?

 

[degrandprix]

Good to see something finally happening there. I thought it was planned for demolition a while back?

 

[IanO]

Interim use is my guess.

 

[Greenspace]

New entrance glazing.

Did the city investment in this one block and the finished product incentive O'Byrnes to locate here?

Did the city investment in this one block and the finished product incentive O'Byrnes to locate here?

I believe O'Byrnes will be nice, but isn't it essentially just replacing something somewhat similar that was there for a long time? So, I don't think the city investment has as of yet resulted in any new retail space here.

 

[SarcasticMarmot]

Rose and Crown was in that exact space for years. O'Byrnes is just a new ownership/look of essentially the same thing that was there before. Still happy to see them move in, but it's not really a new thing for downtown.
