I've been by a few times recently and can confirm they are indeed active on this site

I wonder what's going on there? Definitely a large footprint.

There is a rendering somewhere on this site of a nice looking two storey commercial building.

Kinda liking this sentence: "currently reaching some if its highest occupancy and rental rates to date." A prelude to Phase #2?

Paris Baguette has been listed on Google Maps for the property for a little while now, I was wondering when the official announcement would happen.

that Canadian Tire bucket looks so lonely though

I hope this is a mixed-use development, anyone know?

Someone reporting on R/Edmonton (reddit) that they received an email that Lululemon decided they will be closing up their store on Whyte Ave in the fall.

The main reason likely has to do with their WEM location currently undergoing renovations to double in size and become one massive store. Huge blow to the street as this was Lululemon's first location in the city (apparently?) and had a presence there for many years.

ALO Yoga in direct competition with Lululemon is looking at opening stores in both Old Strathcona and West Edmonton Mall. ALO is based in Los Angeles.

I had heard something about that recently too and hoped it was not true. I have gone to the Whyte Ave location a few times recently, it is fairly convenient a nice size and easy to get to for me.

I doubt I will be going all the way to the one in West Ed often or maybe ever. So in my opinion, this is a poor decision.

I think Lulu is making a big mistake. If anything they should have expanded the Whyte Ave location. From the ALO Yoga there are 3 locations in Canada - all in Toronto. https://www.aloyoga.com/collections/mens-tanks
