It seems like Goodlife Fitness (or any gym) would be terrible for a mall. I don't know how much traffic they'd bring in, but I can't imagine it'd be as much as a busy retailer?
A Costco at Market Mall would be very convenient for me. Make it happen, Costco.
I heard that Goodlife actually doesn't have real plans to move into old Target spaces, they just announced it for free publicity. No idea what the truth is in this case.
Or an IKEA would be wonderful expect I don't think they build more than one per city usually. But would be nice... Especially for all those university kids
I would think the Target space in Market Mall is way to small for an Ikea. Ikea is quite rigid on their store implementation and plan.
Found this in a retail discussion in another forum...............................
That was an interesting read and not a lot different than when I have worked for Canadian companies that were purchased by a American companies and then Americanized. It's kind of stunning how Americans don't understand that what works in the US doesn't necessarily work in Canada and just as that fella suggested they are very inflexible to even trying to adapt and even staring at the face of failure would rather continue to hammer the US square peg into the Canadian round hole.
I read an unrelated article to this thread re. Sears at Southcentre. The own the building and may be looking to sell it back to Oxford. Oxford could then lease it to Simons if Sears wanted out.
All Target Starbucks are closing today. I wonder about the performance of those too.
The Chinook one was closed a few weeks ago. It didnt really make sense to have Starbucks in some of their locations such as Chinook where there is one outside of the store.

That's usually how Starbucks works though.
Market Mall - Safeway and Target are next to each other, Starbucks in Both
Brentwood "Mall" - Starbucks in the Safeway, Starbucks down the hall
Westhills - Starbucks in Safeway, Starbucks stand alone store a walk away and another across Richmond Road in the Target.

My god, if they could somehow convert the westhills location into a Costco... It would be amazing (and horrid for traffic in that already-horrid area)...
But I am sure the store is less than 1/3 the sq. ft Costco needs.
TLDR: Find a way to add a few more Costco's to Calgary.
There's also another Starbucks just outside the Apple Store which is a short walk away from Target and Safeway.
Oh and a Starbucks where Shoppers is too in Market
On another note, anyone know why Easystreet went out of business in Sunridge and Chinook? too young to rememeber. A spot like that would be good for a business like that.
I know people like their cheap prices and prison-like construction of Costco's and Wal-Marts but I'd still like a nicer one-stop place to shop at that that is bright, modern, comfortable, a little more upper class, open late, and in convenient locations.

There is nothing to fill that void now.

He clearly said "one-stop", referring to Walmart/Target style stores only more up-scale. As you indicated, Sunterra is for groceries, meaning it is not a one stop store.
