Manulife Place Renovations | 145.99m | 36s | AIMCo | MdeAS

[Gronk!]

I'm still hearing nothing but crickets when it comes to renovations on the 2 retail floors.

 

[Gronk!]

There's some work happening in one of the 2nd floor spaces near the entrance to Commerce Place.

^Something positive coming there. Can't say more.

 

[Clearshades]

...positve or POSITIVE? My eyes are not youthfully like they use to be , so is there any chance you can spell that correctly?

I believe the space being referred to may be the former optical space, when they moved across the way. I noticed something happening there when I went by earlier this week.

If so, it is not a large space, but looks like it is being expanded a bit and it is an excellent location next to the entrance to the second floor entrance to Commerce Place

One thing all the indoor central retail spaces have going for them is foot traffic. Happy to see something going in here.

I believe Ace Coffee was to open a downtown location in Manulife. Methinks this could be it.

I can neither confirm nor deny

Thank god, as a self-professed coffee snob another non-Tim Hortons option is very welcome Downtown. Credo and Lui-Chi's are great but won't be as close to me as Ace in Manulife.

You could have at least thrown in American Starbucks instead of admonishing just Canadian's Tim Hortons while I agree with you.

Tim Hortons ceased being a fully Canadian-owned company in 2014 when it was purchased by Restaurant Brands International.

I’d prefer a Starbucks over Tim Hortons any day (a couple reasons being they have actual espresso and treat their staff way better).

 

[Clearshades]

I forgot about the sales, but, nevertheless, what is the differences between the two? That is generically as one can get. How is that snob coffee though? My French-press in the morning naturally oozes more snobs than both combined...

Maybe all those Starbucks employees that lost their jobs when they closed a bunch of locations in the pandemic, to try keep up corporate profits might disagree.

At least Tim's seems to keep on going and keep their staff employed, although I do find their sometimes long, slow Soviet style lines a bit much at times.
