Yeah, full agreement with you there, I was surprised at how nice it is. I'm hoping it's a success and a few more "upscale" or boutique retailers take a chance on this portion of the mall.

Based on the instagram post they also have a spot at Southgate.

Reading in between the lines of the tenanting situation at the mall, it has the hallmarks of filling space with month-to-month groups that can't afford to pay much. That way, if and when the mall owner is able to execute on a much larger program, they can de-tenant without much holding things up.

They have done a fairly good job of filling a number of empty spaces over the last year, which is what I feel they needed to do. The mall now has a much better feel to it and seems busier too.
Other more popular malls like Southgate and Kingsway seem quite full now with little available space, so City Centre could become a choice for new or expanding retail businesses to look at as it has available space.
So the remaining availalbe smaller spaces may continue to fill up. I feel the biggest challenge in the upcoming year or so, will be to try fill some of the larger spaces that are empty.

Linda reminds me of Bombay - when we had a couple of Bombay stores in Edmonton.

It actually reminds me of a local store that was previously downtown and successful, but closed not too long ago because of owners health issues.

^Bling, I assume you mean. It was more than just a health issue -- the owner died, sadly. RIP.

I didn't want to get into more details for some reasons, but yes you are correct. It was unexpected and sad, he was a fine person.

Who here would go to a giant pickle ball facility with lounge area in the old Bay if created? A family zone, social zone and tournament zone.
Asking for a friend.

A pickleball facility in the old Bay space would be a good start.
More details, please. What was the name of the store and what was the address?

You might joke but for some reason Gen Z is obsessed with pickle ball, so this actually wouldn't be a bad idea.

Bling. It was on 124th Street and 106 Ave, just a couple doors north of Albert's. It used to be downtown, right by Pazzo Pazzo if I recall correctly.

This has been done in other malls and needs to happen here. And yes, I would go and know others who would, too.
Also indoor kids playground and other activities.
Is that indoor bike park also still happening in the previous Sport Chek space?

I know this has been posted before, but now they did a story on it. Also not directly applicable to ECC (the building in the story is heritage) but underscores the need for redevelopment.
