[...] first involves a new opening. Immersion Clothing’s old spot (1926 West 4th) is now occupied by funky looking children’s shoe store [...]

I keep hoping to see a closing sign on the Reitman’s store. It doesn’t belong on 4th Ave and the sterile Kmart lighting is a blight on 4th Ave.

Also sad to see Hope leave. After Reitman’s and soon Le Chateau to arrive, I do wish for a non-chain store to come in the space!

What I heard from the shop keepers a couple of months ago is that the Helly Hansen store will open on Granville Street in the near future and I can’t seem to remember what was due to come into their space. I truly miss Book Warehouse as it was the first shop on our way up West 4th and the Broadway location is so cramped, hardly works for the layout of all the books they had on offer! I can’t imagine Book Warehouse moving into the Helly Hansen spot as it’s quite small. Would rather the books than another nail salon though!

Confirmed. There is a “Wouldn’t it be nice if a Book Warehouse moved in here? sign on the window.

Hmm, interesting. And that just after they moved from West 4th (from the old Reitmans location) to 3066 West Broadway?

I’ve heard from a Book Warehouse employee that they will be moving into the Helly Hanson location.

When I walked by earlier today I realized they might actually be doing renovations rather than having gone out of business. Time will tell I guess.

Strange. Hope Unlimited was closed on Boxing Day. I guess that makes sense now.
