I went into Simons in downtown today. Wow! They must have spent a fortune on that store.

I didn't expect much based on what I remember of Simons in Montreal but I'm super impressed by the architectural and interior design. The space is really unique and creatively set up to make the most of the compact space. You can see vestiges of the old food court and Lancaster layout hidden in the maze. It's really cool.

I'm not surprised Sears is going to die. The US version is managed by the worst CEO in America and they make all their money off their real estate holdings. In the meantime, all their stores haven't been updated since 1985 so of course, their only clientele are starting to die from natural causes. Sears Canada is separate so it could somehow live on longer but I don't really see how.
