A couple new closings not mentioned yet:
Looks like both locations of Ceilis are closing. I still remember when the 1st one opened in Penny Lane in about what - 2000 - and it was the hottest patio in town to be at. It does sounds like something new will go into the 4th street place, and the Rooftop is still there.

I also saw that the Toys R Us in Market Mall is closing. Rumor has it that Decathalon is going into the space. If so, I can't imagine the other sporting goods tenants there are happy about it, especially Mountain Warehouse and maybe Sport Chek as they already occupy the low end of that market.
I did visit a Decathalon yesterday, and I'd describe it as the Ikea of sporting goods. Had everything from Karate gi's to yoga mats to treadmills. House brand stuff is incredibly cheap, but as you move up in quality is gets back on par with either costco or even MEC (on sale). Good example was a synthetic sleeping bag that was $85 - which ironically is what I just paid for one at MEC this week. Anything Coleman is priced comparably to most other places.
Bikes weren't cheap, and had crap parts to boot. Wouldn't reccommend.
