Dear Laura:

RE: Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario urbanMetrics inc. (‘urbanMetrics’) is pleased to submit the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, which was undertaken on behalf of the City of Orillia Economic Development Department and the Downtown Orillia Management Board (‘DOMB’). This study has been undertaken to analyze the existing commercial structure and diversity of store types in Downtown Orillia. This study was also undertaken to identify opportunities for business attraction and to provide the City and the DOMB with a comprehensive dataset to monitor future progress and help guide economic development initiatives. This report identifies specific commercial categories that are under-represented in the downtown area and provides examples of potential tenants within these categories that should be targeted for future marketing. This report also provides a series of key performance indicators to help the City and the DOMB monitor future changes with respect to changes in the downtown commercial market. Input from local residents has been a crucial element of this analysis and the final recommendations in this report reflect the findings of urbanMetrics’ community-driven approach to evaluating the retail mix in Downtown Orillia. We appreciate the opportunity to conduct this assignment on your behalf and we look forward to discussing the results of our report with you. Yours truly, urbanMetrics inc.

Executive Summary

Introduction The Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis has been undertaken by urbanMetrics inc. on behalf of the City of Orillia Economic Development Department and the Downtown Orillia Management Board (‘DOMB’) to measure and evaluate the existing retail mix in Downtown Orillia. This study has been developed through outreach with the business community and the public at large. This study builds on recent initiatives that have been led by the City and the DOMB, including the Downtown Tomorrow Plan1 and the Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan2. The purpose of the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis is to provide strategic insights and items that will help guide the City and the DOMB in future business attraction and retention initiatives. This study includes: Detailed commercial inventory for the entire downtown area; Identification of specific commercial segments that are either absent or under-represented in the downtown area and should be targeted for future marketing; and A series of key performance indicators to help the City and the DOMB monitor future progress. Study Area The Study Area for the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis is consistent with the boundaries of the Downtown Area as defined in the Downtown Tomorrow Plan. These boundaries are virtually identical to the downtown area boundaries as defined in Schedule A and Schedule B of the City of Orillia Official Plan (‘Official Plan’). The Study Area is comprised of the following: Downtown Orillia Business Improvement Area (‘BIA’); Primary Focus Area; and Project Area. SOURCE: City of Orillia Public Works Department (July 5, 2016).

1 Downtown Tomorrow Plan refers to the study entitled Downtown Tomorrow, Linking Orillia’s Core to the Water, which was adopted by City of Orillia Council on June 3, 2013. Strategic Initiative # 14 calls for the completion of a detailed inventory to understand the existing retail composition of the downtown area and provide guidance with respect to the attraction of new specialty retailers and services going forward. 2 The Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan project began in June 2015 and was adopted by Council on June 27, 2016. Implementation of grant programs will begin in January 2017.

Downtown Trade Area To effectively identify opportunities for business attraction and economic development in Downtown Orillia it is important to understand the customers that provide support for downtown businesses. The four primary markets for retailers and service commercial establishments operating in the downtown area include: City Population; Tourists/Seasonal Residents; and Regional Population; Downtown Workforce.

Based on current and historic customer origin data, approximately 80% of the customers for businesses in the downtown area are derived from within the City of Orillia. Community Engagement From the outset of the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, direct community engagement has been an integral component of our analysis. During July, August and September 2016, an extensive community consultation process was undertaken, including: Key informant Interviews (n = 20) Facebook Forum (n = 350) Public Survey (n = 750) Public Workshop (n = 45) Business Owner Survey (n = 70) All Engagement Exercises (n = 1,235) n = number of respondents/participants These community engagement exercises were used to encourage widespread public participation and to ensure that local residents and other stakeholders were given multiple opportunities to provide their insights with respect to how to enhance the diversity of store types and composition of businesses in Downtown Orillia. The top suggested improvements for Downtown Orillia are as follows: reducing the number of vacant store fronts; and adding new retail stores. Shopping is the primary reason that public survey respondents visit Downtown Orillia. However, the selection of retailers in the downtown area was also identified as the most significant drawback of the downtown shopping experience. Similarly, less than 20% of survey respondents indicated that the diversity of store types is one of the best aspects of the downtown shopping experience, and the downtown area accounts for a relatively small portion of expenditures made by local residents. Nevertheless, with the addition of new stores and services in under-represented categories (i.e. existing service gaps), there is potential for greater expenditures by local residents within the downtown area. Existing service gaps identified by the local community include: Convenience and specialty food stores; Furniture, home furnishings and electronics stores; General merchandise stores; Restaurants; and Clothing Stores.

ii Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

Commercial Inventory Downtown Orillia is intended to act as a focal point for the community, offering the largest and the most diverse concentration of retailers and commercial services in the City of Orillia, while also functioning as the administrative and cultural hub of the City. It is comprised of a wide assortment of commercial uses including retail, office, service, and entertainment facilities, which generally serve a boutique function. There are also a number of commercial enterprises that serve a regional market area. To better understand the existing composition and diversity of store types in the downtown area, a comprehensive inventory was undertaken by urbanMetrics in July and August 2016. Downtown Orillia currently contains approximately 1.25 million square feet of retail and service commercial space, including: CATEGORY TOTAL SPACE (ft2) Food Store Retail (‘FSR’) 66,200 Non-Food Store Retail (‘NFSR’) 302,800 Beer, Wine, Liquor (‘BWL’) 8,000 Commercial Services 637,100 Other Occupied Commercial (e.g. taxi services; Service Ontario) 4,200 Vacant 230,200 TOTAL 1,248,500 SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc.

Vacancy The current commercial vacancy rate for Downtown Orillia is 18.4%, compared to a healthy (balanced) market which typically falls within the range of 5% – 8%. Relative to downtown areas in nearby, small/mid-sized municipalities, Downtown Orillia has the highest proportion of vacant commercial space.

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. The high vacancy in Downtown Orillia echoes feedback from the local community about the most important improvements and speaks to the need to enhance the diversity of store types and assortment of businesses in the downtown area. However, it is important to recognize that just a handful of properties account for a significant portion of the total vacant space in the downtown area (e.g. 70 Front Street North – 17,900 square feet; 10 Western Avenue – 31,500 square feet, 4 King Street East – 19,000 square feet).

iii Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

It should also be pointed out that the majority of the vacant space in Downtown Orillia is actually located outside of the Downtown Business Improvement Area and the Downtown Primary Focus Area. The Project Area accounts for 54% of the total vacant commercial space in Downtown Orillia. As a result, when viewed in isolation, the commercial vacancy rates in Downtown Business Improvement Area and the Downtown Primary Focus Area are much closer to what is typically considered a healthy range – between 5% and 8% – in most markets.

Zone Vacancy Downtown Orillia Business Improvement 12.9% Area Primary Focus Area 11.2% Project Area 30.3% TOTAL DOWNTOWN PROJECT AREA 18.4% SOURCE:VACANCY urbanMetrics inc. Vacancy includes all leasable space (ground floor, upper storeys and below ground). Market Gaps Downtown Orillia is generally in-line with typical commercial square footage service levels (measured as “shares” of the total commercial space) in the following commercial categories:

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. However, the following commercial categories represent store categories which appear to be under-represented, and “off-target” compared to conventional commercial mixes observed in small/mid-sized communities:

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. These off-target categories represent market gaps that should be pursued by City, DOMB, and other private real estate interests working in the downtown area. As new stores and services in under-represented categories (i.e. existing service gaps) are attracted to Downtown Orillia, there is potential for an increase in expenditures by local residents at stores within the downtown area.

iv Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

Potential Targets The number of new establishments and the take-up of commercial space within these “off-target” categories have been summarized below:

COMMERCIAL TAKE-UP OF NEW EXAMPLES OF POTENTIAL TENANTS CATEGORY NEW SPACE ESTABLISHMENTS Starbucks, David’s Tea, Coffee Culture, 50,000 square Booster Juice, Taco Bell, A&W, Freshii, Sunset Restaurants 5 – 10 feet Grill, , The Works, Wild Wings, independent operators Personal Care 20,000 square Peekabo Child Care, Dogtopia, Blo Blow Dry 5 – 10 Services feet Bar, independent operators

Fresh & Wild, M&M Meats, Almost Perfect, 15,000 square Specialty Food Stores 2 – 5 Nutty Chocolatier, Rocky Mountain Chocolate feet Factory, independent operators

Selected Merchandise 30,000 square Homesense, The Source, Princess Auto, 5 – 10 Stores feet independent operators

Culture, 30,000 square Entertainment, 5 – 10 independent operators feet Recreation Services TOTAL 145,000 22 – 45 (see selected examples above) square feet

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. If these new establishments and/or this amount of space is occupied by new tenants, the commercial vacancy rate in the downtown area would decrease from 18.4% to 6.8%, which would bring the overall commercial vacancy rate for Downtown Orillia to a balanced and healthy level (i.e. between 5% and 8%). SUMMARY TABLE Total Space In Orillia Project Area (inventory) 1,250,000 square feet Commercial Vacancy (2016) 230,000 square feet 18.4% Take-up of New Space (all categories) 145,000 square feet Vacancy Impact (Targeted Reduction) 85,000 square feet 6.8%

Recommendations The following recommendations are intended to support a collaborative approach to reducing commercial vacancy levels and improving the retail mix in Downtown Orillia. Establish a formal initiative designed to reduce and manage vacancy in the downtown area at a balanced rate of 5% to 8%. Strategic Actions: Identify on an annual basis, the top five spaces in the BIA and the top 5 spaces in the broader project area, which are chronically vacant and in need of immediate attention. Special attention shall be given to these properties through all subsequent strategic actions. Establish a recruitment team consisting of representatives from the City, the DOMB and the Lakelands Association of Realtors to regularly discuss progress, identify properties which need immediate attention and discuss new opportunities as they arise. Build upon the downtown inventory and update on a semi-annual basis to ensure that both the City and the DOMB are aware of vacancies, so these can be addressed. Develop a coordinated and targeted business recruitment campaign for specific under- represented commercial categories within the Orillia Downtown Project Area. These under- represented categories include: Restaurants; Personal Care services; Convenience and Specialty Food stores; Furniture, Home Furnishings and electronics stores; General Merchandise stores; Clothing Stores; and Culture, Entertainment and Recreation establishments. Strategic Actions: Host workshops inviting would-be business owners with an interest or passion in opening a commercial venture within the targeted commercial categories. Host targeted receptions (familiarization tours) focused on invitees with a proven track- record in business operation is nearby markets such as Barrie, Midland, Newmarket and Collingwood. Participate/exhibit in national franchisee tradeshows highlighting the benefits of Orillia as an underserved and “open-for-business” market. Develop a promotional package for targeted retailers (as recommended in the Downtown Tomorrow Plan). Development a coordinated radio, newspaper and online advertising plan to promote opportunities to potential investors in the primary and secondary trades areas, as well as the Greater Toronto Area.

vii Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

Monitor commercial activity patterns in the Downtown Project Area in accordance with the key performance indicators identified in the previous section, and provide on-going updates to the commercial inventory database delivered to the City as part of this initiative. Strategic Actions: Publish an annual report beginning in Q1 2018 (for the 2017 year) which documents key success and challenges in the year. Provide open and transparent information that will assist the local business community and would-be investors in making informed location decisions about the downtown. Support investments and other initiatives that enhance the public realm, including heritage conservation, accessibility, festivals/events, public art and stronger linkages with the waterfront, especially those related to the off-target categories identified in the report. Strategic Actions: Ensure City grant programs (e.g. Downtown CIP) recognize the importance of these targeted categories by ensuring evaluation criteria are structured to favour target industries.

1 Introduction urbanMetrics inc. has been retained by the City of Orillia Economic Development Department and the Downtown Orillia Management Board (‘DOMB’) to measure and evaluate the existing retail mix and commercial structure in Downtown Orillia. This study is intended to build on recent projects that have been led by the City and the DOMB, including the Downtown Tomorrow Plan3 and the Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan4. The purpose of the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis is to provide strategic insights and action items that will help guide the City and the DOMB in future business attraction and retention initiatives. This study identifies specific commercial segments of the retail landscape which are either absent or under-represented in the downtown area, which should be targeted for future marketing. This study provides a series of key performance indicators to help the City and the DOMB monitor future changes with respect to the downtown retail market. This study has been developed through outreach with the business community and public at large.

1.1 BACKGROUND The impetus for this study came directly out of the Downtown Tomorrow Plan. This initiative identified a number of strategic initiatives designed to enhance the downtown shopping and dining experience in Orillia. Specifically, Strategic Initiative # 14 calls for the completion of a detailed inventory to understand the existing retail composition of the downtown area and provide guidance with respect to the attraction of new specialty retailers and services going forward. The Downtown Tomorrow Plan indicated that the primary gaps and opportunities for business attraction and retention in the downtown area included: Specialty food stores; Cafes, pubs and restaurants; Specialty stores (e.g. upscale women’s clothing; shoes, clothing, accessories; jewellery, cosmetics; men’s clothing; electronics; and local/hand-crafted souvenirs) Other retail stores (e.g. art galleries; craft shops; photo studios; furniture and home furnishings stores; and book stores; etc.)

3 Downtown Tomorrow Plan refers to the study entitled Downtown Tomorrow, Linking Orillia’s Core to the Water, which was adopted by City of Orillia Council on June 3, 2013. 4 The Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan project began in June 2015 and was adopted by Council on June 27, 2016. Implementation of grant programs will begin in January 2017.

The analysis in this report will be used to provide direct input for a number of ongoing and future initiatives that are being undertaken by the City. Similar to this study, the initial motivation for the Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan also came directly from the Downtown Tomorrow Plan. The Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan includes eight financial incentive programs to help encourage businesses and/or property owners to make investments to encourage downtown revitalization. There is $185,000 in funding available in 2017 that has been allocated as part of the Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan for the following grant programs5: Feasibility/Design Study Grant Program; Fees Grant Study Program; Façade Improvement Grant Program; Building Improvement Grant Program; and Residential Grant Program. Currently, City staff and various community partners continue to work towards finalizing the remaining portions of the Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan, including: applications, agreements, a monitoring program and marketing plan. The Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis will provide a strong foundation for the Downtown Tomorrow Community Improvement Plan and a number of other current and future initiatives being undertaken by the City. This quantifiable data will allow the City to provide well-researched statistical information to potential investors, and will allow community partners to measure progress to ensure success.

1.2 STUDY AREA The Study Area for the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis is consistent with the boundaries of the Downtown Area as defined in Schedule A and Schedule B of the City of Orillia Official Plan (‘Official Plan’). The Study Area is comprised of the following: Downtown Orillia Business Improvement Area (‘BIA’); Primary Focus Area; and Project Area.

5 It is important to recognize that this is not a defined annual budget, and therefore the amount of funding may be subject to annual fluctuations.

1.3 OBJECTIVES As described in Section 1.1, this study is intended to build on the strategic initiatives and recommendations included in the Downtown Tomorrow Plan. As such, the primary objective of this study is to undertake a comprehensive Retail Mix Analysis for Downtown Orillia. This includes the following three key components: A detailed inventory of the existing retail and services commercial uses concentrated in the downtown area;

Identification of gaps and/or potential opportunities for business attraction; and

To provide a robust data set to provide input for current and future initiatives.

1.4 APPROACH The approach used by urbanMetrics in undertaking this study has been summarized in Figure 1-2. From the outset of this study, community engagement and public input has been a fundamental component of our analysis.

2 Downtown Orillia Trade Area Profile

To effectively identify opportunities for business attraction and economic development in Downtown Orillia it is important to understand the customers that provide support for downtown businesses. The four primary markets for retailers and service commercial establishments operating in the downtown area include: City Population; Regional Population; Tourists/Seasonal Residents; and Downtown Workforce.

2.1 TRADE AREA DELINEATION To determine downtown customer origins, a licence plate survey was conducted by urbanMetrics in the downtown area in July 2016 and compared with the results of previous customer origin surveys, including: 2013 Licence Plate Survey6; 2014 Shop Local Survey; 2014 Downtown Visitor Survey; 2015 Downtown Visitor Survey; and 2014 Farmers’ Market Visitor Survey.

Licence plate data was recorded by urbanMetrics at the following locations in Downtown Orillia: within municipal pay parking lots throughout the downtown area; street parking locations; and at major retail locations with surface parking (i.e. Metro; Shoppers Drug Mart; Giant Tiger/; and Home Hardware). This data was then submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation who returned corresponding dissemination area data for each licence plate recorded. These surveys have provided valuable input in order to confirm the extent of the Trade Area for Downtown Orillia. This current and past research has been used to indicate the geographic extent and drawing power of the existing commercial facilities that are located in Downtown Orillia. The total market influence attributable to Downtown Orillia extends over a wide area, beyond which any precise geographic boundary that can be drawn. Licence plate survey research conducted in 2013 and 2016 indicates that the majority of the customers for the downtown area originate from within the City of Orillia (i.e. approximately 60%7). However, a significant portion of downtown customers are drawn from outside the City, including tourists, seasonal residents and permanent

5 Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario residents of the surrounding regional area. For example, Figure 2-1 shows a considerable number of downtown customers who originated from the Greater Toronto Area. These customers would represent seasonal residents who have cottages near Orillia and/or tourists visiting the area.

Figure 2-1: Customer Origins urbanMetrics 2013 & 2016 Licence Plate Surveys

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. Although licence plate surveys provide a general indication of customer origins, they have some limitations. For example, they do not capture pedestrians or persons travelling by means such as public transit. In addition, some corporate-leased vehicles or rental cars may be registered to the company and not the person driving the vehicle. Finally, the licence plate data obtained by the Ministry of Transportation for vehicles registered to rural addresses often provides the location of a nearby post office box only and not the dissemination area of the owner’s actual location of residence. Data from the customer origin research conducted in 2014 (e.g. 2014 Shop Local Survey; 2014 Downtown Visitor Survey; 2015 Downtown Visitor Survey; and 2014 Farmers’ Market Visitor Survey) indicates that approximately 80% of downtown customers are derived from the City of Orillia. This historic data has been used to validate the results of urbanMetrics fieldwork in Orillia.

A Trade Area has been defined, which reflects the geographic area from which the majority of regular customer support will be derived. In order to determine the trade area served by Downtown Orillia, a number of factors have been considered: The competitive environment and selection retail establishments elsewhere in the City of Orillia and other nearby downtown areas (e.g. Barrie); The accessibility and locational characteristics of Downtown Orillia; Physical and psychological barriers (e.g. lakes, rivers, highways, municipal boundaries, etc.); and A review of previous customer origin research conducted in Downtown Orillia. For the purposes of our analysis, we have conservatively assumed that approximately 60% of Downtown Orillia customers are derived from the City of Orillia, in addition to another 20% collectively drawn from the Secondary Trade Area – North and the Secondary Trade Area – South. The remaining customer support for retail stores and services in Downtown Orillia is derived from inflow from outside of the defined Trade Area (e.g. Barrie). As such, the Trade Area for Downtown Orillia has been illustrated in Figure 2-2. The defined Trade Area has been further subdivided into three smaller zones:

Primary Trade Area – is comprised of the Figure 2-2: Trade Area Map entire City of Orillia and represents the area from which retail stores and services in Downtown Orillia derive the majority of their customers. Secondary Trade Area (South) – is comprised of the following portions of Simcoe County: Severn Township, Ramara Township, Town of Midland, Town of Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, Tay Township, Oro-Medonte (part). It also includes Muskoka District – Town of Gravenhurst, Durham Region – Brock Township (part) and the City of Kawartha Lakes (part) Secondary Trade Area (North) – is comprised of the following portions of Muskoka District: Georgian Bay Township, Town of Bracebridge, Town of Huntsville, SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. Muskoka Lakes Township and Lake of Bays Township (part). It also includes the following portion of Parry Sound District: Wahta Mohawk Territory (IRI), Parry Island First Nation (part), Town of Parry Sound, Seguin Township (part), McDougall (part) and The Archipelago Township (part).

2.2 DEMOGRAPHICS Figure 2-3 summarizes some key demographic characteristics of Downtown Orillia compared to the Primary Trade Area (i.e. the City of Orillia), the Secondary Trade Areas and the Province. Downtown Orillia is characterized by low income levels, in addition to smaller households with fewer children and youth (i.e. 0 – 19 years of age) compared to the City of Orillia as a whole, the broader regional area and the Province. The 20 – 29 age group accounts for the largest share of the downtown population followed by the 50-59 age group.

Although per capita and household income levels in the City as a whole exceed Provincial averages, both per capita and household income levels in Downtown Orillia are significantly below Ontario. For example, the per capita income index8 relative to the Province is 113.3% for the City of Orillia as a whole, compared to only 77.1% for Downtown Orillia. The downtown residential population of approximately 2,868 residents represents 8.5% of the City’s overall population, which is a relatively small customer base compared to the market available to suburban shopping areas. By 2026, the downtown residential population is forecast to increase to 3,189 residents, which would represent approximately 8.6% of the City’s population. However, with increased investment in the downtown area, specifically more intensification and residential development projects (e.g. Matchedash Lofts) there is potential for population growth in Orillia to exceed these Census-based forecasts9.

8 Per capita income index refers to the income level per person calculated as a percentage of the average income level per person in Ontario. 9 According to the Downtown Tomorrow Plan the maximum population capacity of Downtown Orillia has been estimated at 4,500 residents by 2031. This estimate takes into account the intensification targets for Orillia established by Places to Grow: the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the City of Orillia Official Plan.

Due to the relatively small downtown residential population and lower income levels, capturing Orillia residents who live outside of the downtown area as well as the regional population base10 will be a key aspect of ensuring continued success of commercial enterprises in Downtown Orillia.

10 The regional population base in this context refers to the population of the surrounding counties (i.e. the Secondary Trade Areas), for which Orillia functions as a regional service centre.

3 Community Engagement Overview

From the outset of the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, direct community engagement has been an integral component of our analysis. During July, August and September 2016, an extensive community consultation process was undertaken, including: Key informant Interviews; Public Survey; Business Owner Survey; Facebook Forum; and Public Workshop.

These community engagement exercises were used to encourage widespread public participation and to ensure that local residents and other stakeholders were given multiple opportunities to provide their insights with respect to how to enhance the diversity of store types and composition of businesses in Downtown Orillia. Input from the local community has been instrumental in helping to identify opportunities for business attraction in the downtown area. The following subsections provide an overview of each community engagement exercise undertaken as part of this study. The key findings and analysis from these community engagement exercises have been used to provide guidance regarding the retailers and commercial services that should be targeted by the City’s Economic Development Department as part of future business attraction campaigns.

3.1 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS A series of interviews were conducted with key informants in Downtown Orillia. A total of twenty informants were identified under the direction of the City’s Economic Development Department and DOMB and included elected officials, downtown business owners, downtown landlords and others. The primary objective of these interviews was to identify the most critical issues facing Downtown Orillia and to gather local insights and recommendations with respect to potential strategies that could be implemented to stimulate business attraction and retention in the downtown area.

3.2 PUBLIC SURVEY A community survey was launched publicly on August 8, 2016 and responses were collected until September 2, 2016. As illustrated in Figure 3-1, approximately 750 fully completed responses were received during this period. This level of participation is considered very high, particularly for a community of Orillia’s size. Figure 3-1: Summary Public Survey Responses PUBLIC

This survey was used to encourage widespread community engagement, including (see Figure 3-2): Permanent Figure 3-2: Survey Participation residents of Orillia; Permanent residents of the surrounding area; Seasonal residents of Orillia or the surrounding area; and n = 770 SOURCE: urbanMetrics.inc. Visitors to SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. Orillia.

Of these survey respondents, approximately 17% indicated they either own or work at a business in the downtown area.

11 Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

The majority of survey respondents completed the community survey online, however, others chose to complete hard copies, which were available in various public locations (e.g. Orillia Public Library; selected downtown retailers, etc.). Approximately 70% of public survey respondents learned about the project through various social media channels (e.g. Facebook; Twitter). However, the public survey was advertised using a variety of methods, including: Press release published on the City of Orillia’s website; Posters and information sheets; Newspaper advertisements and articles; Link to survey posted on City of Orillia website; Link to survey posted on DOMB website; Social media; and Direct email communications.

The public survey provided an opportunity for input from the general public to help supplement our findings from other community engagement exercises (e.g. stakeholder interviews; business owner survey; Facebook forum; and public workshop).

3.3 BUSINESS SURVEY A business survey was launched publicly on August 8, 2016 and responses were collected until September 9, 2016. As illustrated in Figure 3-3, approximately 70 fully completed responses were received during this period.

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. based on FluidSurveys. This survey was used to collect feedback from downtown business owners about existing gaps in the downtown commercial market and opportunities for business attraction. This survey was also used as an opportunity to gather information from business owners regarding the number of employees, store hours and plans for business expansion and/or relocation. The DOMB helped to distribute the business survey to businesses in the downtown area.

12 Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

3.4 FACEBOOK FORUM Throughout the duration of the study, comments posted on the DOMB Facebook page were collected and analyzed to provide an additional opportunity for widespread community input. The following question was posed: Tell us what stores you would like to see in Downtown Orillia? A total of 365 comments were received, some of which included suggestions or recommendations for specific retailers and others which identified the general store types that members of the public would like to see in the downtown area. The comments from this exercise demonstrated that many respondents weren’t aware of the current offerings that are available in Downtown Orillia (i.e. many suggestions of new stores or services that should be added to the downtown already exist).

3.5 PUBLIC WORKSHOP A public workshop was hosted on September 20, 2016 at the Orillia Public Library to facilitate transparent community dialogue regarding how to enhance the diversity of store types and commercial structure in Downtown Orillia. The primary objective of this public workshop was to confirm and validate the preliminary findings from the public survey and other community engagement exercises. Live audience polling was utilized for this workshop to engage local residents and encourage broad public participation. This workshop was also used to ensure that any key findings and recommendations were representative of the interests of the entire community. Quantified engagement involves live-audience polling and interactive presentations, which have proven to be a highly effective way to: Solicit feedback from local stakeholders (e.g. residents, business owners, elected officials, etc.); Guarantee transparency and provide immediate (real-time) and confidential feedback to participants; Provide an interactive and inclusive experience, which provides an equal opportunity for participation (i.e. no elephants in the room); Encourage participation amongst a broad range of local stakeholders; and Help validate findings and build consensus around specific recommendations.

There was a total of 45 participants who attended the public workshop, 87% of which had already completed the public survey. As illustrated in Figure 3-4, there was a diverse range of local stakeholders in attendance at the public workshops, including: residents, employees, business owners, downtown shoppers, property owners, etc. The public workshops provided an important opportunity to hear new perspectives and connect with local stakeholders who had yet to participate and provide their personal insights.

3.6 SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS FROM COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Below we have highlighted the key findings and some of the recurring themes emerging from various community engagement exercises that have been conducted as part of the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis. This information has been used to help inform, identify and confirm some of the existing gaps (i.e. under-represented stores and services) in Downtown Orillia.

3.6.1 Economic Changes During the Past 5 Years Most residents view economic change in the downtown area as stagnant during the past 5 years – and the results of the public survey mirror the public workshop. Figure 3-5 underscores the importance of undertaking this study.

3.6.2 Favourite Aspects of Downtown Orillia When public survey respondents were asked to indicate their favourite aspect of the shopping experience in Downtown Orillia, the three most common responses were special events and festivals; restaurants; and authenticity.

Figure 3-6: PUBLIC SURVEY – Favourite Aspects of the Downtown Shopping Experience

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. The results of the online survey were validated during the public workshop, where the most common response was festivals and events. Feedback from stakeholder interviews also mirrorred the findings from the community surveys, with many interviewees highlighting the authentic atmoshpere and personalized customer service typical of many independent stores that are concentrated in Downtown Orillia. Similarly, the pleasant atmosphere in the downtown area was the most common response in terms of what is attractive about operating a business in the downtown area according to those who completed the business survey. These findings highlight the current strengths of Downtown Orillia, but also illustrate where improvements are necessary. For example, less than 20% of survey respondents indicated that the diversity of store types is one of their favourite aspects of the downtown shopping experience, which also speaks to the need to be undertaking this study.

15 Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

3.6.3 Reasons for Visiting Shopping is the primary reason that public survey respondents visit Downtown Orillia, as illustrated in Figure 3-7. Despite its popularity as a shopping destination, the downtown area accounts for a relatively small portion of expenditures made by survey respondents. The majority of public survey respondents (i.e. 63%) indicated that less than 20% of their total household expenditures are currently made in Downtown Orillia. Almost 70% of those in attendance at the public workshop stated that Downtown Orillia ‘needs improvement’ as a shopping destination, which contributes to the relatively low expenditure levels at downtown businesses. Despite the consensus that changes are needed to enhance the downtown shopping experience, more than 80% of those in attendance at the public workshop indicated that they would spend more in the downtown area if improvements were made to the diversity of store types and overall shopping experience. This finding clearly illustrates that enhancing Downtown Orillia as a shopping destination will help to encourage greater spending at local businesses.

Figure 3-7: PUBLIC SURVEY – Primary Reasons for Visiting Downtown Orillia

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. Although dining and drinks was identified as the second most common reason people visit Downtown Orillia, more than 25% of those in attendance at the public workshop indicated that Downtown Orillia ‘needs improvement’ as a dining destination. Similarly, more than 35% stated that Downtown Orillia ‘needs improvement’ as a destination to relax and connect with friends, family and the local community. These results mirror the feedback from the public regarding the downtown area as a destination for these types of activities. While there have been some recent additions to the supply of restaurants (e.g. Rustica Pizza Vino; Eight Hundred Degrees), these findings indicate that there are opportunities for new restaurants to locate in the downtown area.

3.6.4 Primary Drawbacks The selection of retailers in the downtown area was identified as one of the most common drawbacks of Downtown Orillia. The selection of goods and services was identified by 39% of public survey respondents as one of the three most significant drawbacks, as illustrated in Figure 4-8. The quality of entertainment facilities was also identified as one of the top three drawbacks of the downtown area according to survey respondents (i.e. 38%). Providing more activities for children, youth and families was a popular response in terms of how to improve the selection of retailers in Downtown Orillia. Similarly, the results of the 2014 Shop Local Survey, which was undertaken jointly by the City of Orillia Economic Development Department, the Downtown Orillia Management Board and Orillia District Chamber of Commerce, indicated that product quality and selection were the two most important aspects of the downtown shopping experience.

Figure 3-8: PUBLIC SURVEY – Current Major Drawbacks of Downtown Orillia

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. Like many other municipalities, parking was also identified as a major drawback of the downtown area as a shopping destination, particularly in comparison to malls and big box centres (which offer free parking). The top concern according to local residents is the cost of parking in Downtown Orillia. Increasing competition from malls and big box stores is undoubtedly the most significant threat to the stability of Downtown Orillia according to the public workshops attendees. Based on feedback from local residents, other major threats to the economic stability in the downtown area and/or challenges in terms of attracting and retaining downtown businesses, include: Lack of anchor or flagship draw(s); Competition from downtown areas in other municipalities; and Size of the customer base (i.e. limited downtown population).

3.6.5 Existing Gaps As described in Section 3.6.3 of this report, more than 80% of those in attendance at the public workshop indicated that they would spend more in the downtown area if improvements were made to the diversity of store types and the overall shopping experience. The types of stores and services that public workshop attendees would most like to see located in Downtown Orillia are: Full-Service Restaurants; and Entertainment venues.

Over 70% of public survey respondents indicated that there are existing service gaps in Downtown Orillia with respect to the following business categories: Convenience and specialty food stores; Furniture, home furnishings and electronics stores; General merchandise stores; Restaurants; and Clothing Stores. Convenience and specialty food stores and restaurants were also popular responses from stakeholder interviews, as well as the Facebook Forum as illustrated in Figure 3-9. Collectively, these findings were indicative of existing market gaps and opportunities for business attraction, thereby providing important input for the commercial structure analysis presented in Section 4 of this report.

3.6.6 Suggested Improvements As illustrated in Figure 3-10, reducing the number of vacant storefronts was identified as the number one response from public survey respondents when asked to identify the most important improvements that are crucial to the future economic viability of the downtown area. Adding new retail stores was the second most popular response, which speaks to why it is important to be undertaking the Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis. Rounding out the top three responses, improving store hours was another top suggested improvement for Downtown Orillia. Although improving store hours is not directly related to the diversity of retail stores in the downtown area, it will be important for the City and the DOMB to consider the hours of operation for retailers that are targeted as part of future business and attraction initiatives. Feedback from the local community indicates that customers would like to see more consistent and more convenient store hours (e.g. extended operating hours).

Figure 3-10: PUBLIC SURVEY – Top Suggested Improvements for Downtown Orillia

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. Attendees at the public workshop indicated that the two biggest challenges with respect to vacant storefronts are: absentee landlords, and poor buildings conditions and/or prohibitively expensive repair and maintenance costs. These findings clearly indicate that reducing downtown commercial vacancy is a priority. The issue of downtown vacancy is analyzed in greater detailed in Section 4 of this report.

4 Commercial Structure Analysis

Downtown Orillia is intended to act as a focal point for the community, offering the largest and the most diverse concentration of retailers and commercial services in the City of Orillia, while also functioning as the administrative and cultural hub of the City. It is comprised of a wide assortment of commercial uses including retail, office, service, and entertainment facilities, which generally serve a boutique function. There are also a number of commercial enterprises that serve a regional market area. To better understand the existing composition and diversity of store types in the downtown area, a comprehensive inventory was undertaken by urbanMetrics in July and August 2016. The commercial inventory includes the following elements for all commercial units in Downtown Orillia:

Location (i.e. node); Price Classification; Municipal Address; Market Classification; Storey (i.e. ground floor, second floor, etc.); Category; Store Size; Trade Group (i.e. SIC code); Roll Number; NAICS Code11; Store Name; Store Hours; Property Owner; Number of Employees; and Zoning Classification; Building expansion/improvement plans.

4.1 DOWNTOWN ORILLIA INVENTORY An updated inventory has been undertaken by urbanMetrics staff using well-established methodologies. The inventory of commercial activities in Downtown Orillia has been based on: Results of previous inventory fieldwork; Information from the City of Orillia Economic Development Department; Information from the Downtown Orillia Management Board; Publicly available information from local property owners; Information provided directly from downtown merchants and business operators, and Size estimates from fieldwork (i.e. on-site pacing) and GIS measurements (i.e. Simcoe County Interactive Map).

11 Appendix F provides a detailed listing of each North American Industry Classification System (‘NAICS’) code.

Figure 4-1 illustrates the geographic distribution of retail stores and commercial services in Downtown Orillia.

Figure 4-1: Geographic Distribution of Commercial Space in Downtown Orillia

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. 1) The number of business establishments does not include individual businesses within the following office buildings: The Common Roof – 169 Front Street South; and Northwest Healthcare Medical Offices – 100 Colborne Street West. These buildings are recorded as a single entry, therefore the actual number of businesses is slightly understated. When each of these businesses is included, there is a total of 480 commercial units in Downtown Orillia. 2) Figure 4-2 provides a more detailed summary of the existing commercial space in Downtown Orillia.

21 Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

The Downtown Orillia Study Area currently contains approximately 1.25 million square feet of retail and service commercial space. This includes 66,200 square feet of Food Store Retail (‘FSR’) stores, the largest of which is a 46,700 square foot Metro supermarket. There is also 302,800 square feet of commercial space occupied by Non-Food Store Retail (‘NFSR’) stores. In addition to these FSR and NFSR facilities, there is 637,100 square feet of commercial service space and 4,200 square feet of other occupied commercial space (e.g. taxi services; Service Ontario) concentrated in Downtown Orillia. There is also 230,200 square feet of vacant commercial space. The Downtown Business Improvement Area accounts for the highest number of businesses and represents almost half of the total commercial space in Downtown Orillia. The commercial space in the Downtown Business Improvement Area is characterized by small (i.e. approximately 2,000 square feet on average) street-front commercial units that are concentrated primarily along Mississaga Street, from Albert Street to Centennial Drive. It also includes the Metro anchored plaza at 70 Front Street North, which was recently acquired by the City. The Downtown Primary Focus Area accounts for the smallest percentage of the total commercial space and lowest number of businesses in Downtown Orillia. The commercial space in the Downtown Primary Focus Area includes units of varying sizes and formats (e.g. free-standing; multi-tenant office; strip retail; etc.), most of which are located on Colborne Street or Coldwater Street. The majority of these units are occupied by service commercial tenants (e.g. lawyers, medical professionals, employment agencies). The Downtown Primary Focus Area is also comprised of some larger retail tenants including the Shopper’s Drug Mart location at 55 Front Street North. The Downtown Project Area (i.e. periphery of the downtown area) accounts for approximately one-third of the total commercial space. The commercial space in the Downtown Project Area is comprised of many of the largest commercial units in Downtown Orillia (e.g. Home Hardware; former RONA; former Goodwill). As a result, the Downtown Project Area represents a higher proportion of the total commercial space in Orillia compared to the number of business. There is also a significant amount of vacant commercial space concentrated in this section of the downtown area.

The current commercial vacancy rate for Downtown Orillia as a whole is very high, sitting at approximately 18.4%. However, it is important to recognize that just a handful of properties account for a notable portion of the total vacant space in the downtown area. Some prominent examples are listed in Figure 4-3.

4.2 COMPARISON TO OTHER DOWNTOWNS The Downtown Orillia inventory has been compared to downtown inventories that have already been completed in other municipalities to help identify gaps and potential targets for future business retention and attraction strategies initiated by the City’s Economic Development Department. Figure 4-5 provides a summary of the Downtown Orillia inventory compared to downtown12 inventories undertaken in five other municipalities in Ontario, including: The City of Peterborough; The City of Barrie; The City of North Bay; The Town of Midland; and The City of Owen Sound.

Figure 4-5: Distribution of Commercial Space in Downtown Orillia Inventory Compared to Other Downtown Areas

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. FSR – Food Store Retail; NFSR – Non-Food Store Retail; LBW – Liquor, Beer, Wine. A detailed listed on the store types included in each category is provided in Appendix F. As illustrated in Figure 4-6, Orillia has the third largest downtown in terms of total commercial square footage; with only Barrie and Peterborough having more space concentrated in their downtown areas.

12 Similar to the inventory completed for Downtown Orillia as part of this study, the inventories for the City of Peterborough, the City of Barrie, the City of Owen Sound and the City of North Bay all included the Business Improvement Area, in addition to the broader area surrounding the downtown core in each respective municipality. The inventory for the Town of Midland focused on only the Business Improvement Area, which helps to explain why their vacancy rate is lower. It is important to recognize that there is considerable variation in terms of the size and composition of the downtown areas in these other municipalities, which impacts the amount of total space and vacancy rate calculations.

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. The high vacancy in Downtown Orillia echoes feedback from the local community about the most important improvements and speaks to the need to enhance the diversity of store types and assortment of businesses in the downtown area. There are a number of specific commercial categories, where Downtown Orillia is currently under- served compared to the downtown area in other municipalities. Conversely, there are other categories where Downtown Orillia is already well-represented relative to other downtown areas.

4.4 MARKET GAPS As described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this report, urbanMetrics has undertaken a full inventory of commercial space in Downtown Orillia. Our analysis of space has identified a total of 1.25 million square feet of gross leasable space. Based on conventional commercial mix ratios for downtown, we have identified the following commercial categories where Downtown Orillia is generally in-line with typical commercial square footage service levels (measured as “shares” of the total commercial space).

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc. The following commercial categories represent store categories which appear to be under- represented, and “off-target” compared to conventional commercial mixes observed in small/mid- sized communities.

SOURCE: urbanMetrics inc.

29 Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

These off-target categories represent market gaps that should be pursued by City, DOMB, and other private real estate interests working in the downtown area. This analysis is consistent with the results of the 2014 Shop Local Survey, which indicated that the top four stores and commercial services that are needed in Downtown Orillia include: Clothing Stores; Home Improvement or Home Décor Stores; Food and Beverage Services; and Sporting Goods Stores.

In addition to the findings from the 2014 Shop Local Survey, there is also significant overlap between urbanMetrics current research findings and the Downtown Tomorrow Plan. As referenced in Section 1.1 of this report, the Downtown Tomorrow Plan identified the following gaps and opportunities for business attraction in the downtown area: Specialty food stores; Cafes, pubs and restaurants; Specialty stores (e.g. upscale women’s clothing; shoes’ clothing accessories; jewellery; cosmetics; men’s clothing; electronics; and local/hand-crafted souvenirs); and Other retail stores (e.g. art galleries; craft shops; photo studios; furniture and home furnishings stores; and book stores; etc.).

6 Recommendations

The following recommendations are intended to support a collaborative approach to reducing commercial vacancy levels and improving the retail mix in Downtown Orillia. Establish a formal initiative designed to reduce and manage vacancy in the downtown area at a balanced rate of 5% to 8%. Strategic Actions: Identify on an annual basis, the top five spaces in the BIA and the top 5 spaces in the broader project area, which are chronically vacant and in need of immediate attention. Special attention shall be given to these 10 properties through all subsequent strategic actions. Establish a recruitment team consisting of representatives from the City, the DOMB and the Lakelands Association of Realtors to regularly discuss progress, identify properties which need immediate attention and discuss new opportunities as they arise. Build upon the downtown inventory and update on a semi-annual basis to ensure that both the City and the DOMB are aware of vacancies, so these can be addressed. Develop a coordinated and targeted business recruitment campaign for specific under- represented commercial categories within the Orillia Downtown Project Area. These under- represented categories include: Restaurants; Personal Care services; Convenience and Specialty Food stores; Furniture, Home Furnishings and electronics stores; General Merchandise stores; Clothing Stores; and Culture, Entertainment and Recreation establishments. Strategic Actions: Host workshops inviting would-be business owners with an interest or passion in opening a commercial venture within the targeted commercial categories. Host targeted receptions (familiarization tours) focused on invitees with a proven track- record in business operation is nearby markets such as Barrie, Midland, Newmarket and Collingwood. Participate/exhibit in national franchisee tradeshows highlighting the benefits of Orillia as an underserved and “open-for-business” market. Develop a promotional package for targeted retailers (as recommended in the Downtown Tomorrow Plan). Development a coordinated radio, newspaper and online advertising plan to promote opportunities to potential investors in the primary and secondary trades areas, as well as the Greater Toronto Area.

34 Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

Monitor commercial activity patterns in the Downtown Project Area in accordance with the key performance indicators identified in the previous section, and provide on-going updates to the commercial inventory database delivered to the City as part of this initiative. Strategic Actions: Publish an annual report beginning in Q1 2018 (for the 2017 year) which documents key success and challenges in the year. Provide open and transparent information that will assist the local business community and would-be investors in making informed location decisions about the downtown. Support investments and other initiatives that enhance the public realm, including heritage conservation, accessibility, festivals/events, public art and stronger linkages with the waterfront, especially those related to the off-target categories identified in the report. Strategic Actions: Ensure City grant programs (e.g. Downtown CIP) recognize the importance of these targeted categories by ensuring evaluation criteria are structured to favour target industries.

Cliff Murphy lmao

Shanaly Aitchison Unfortunately that would never happen!

Miriam Goldberger I suggest you go to TNT in the West Ridge Plaza. Better quality. Better service and run by an Orillian.

Cliff Murphy a depends diaper store..

Brian Graham Pokemon go store

Brenda Morgan I think a party supply store would be great or an edible arrangements store

Jenna Anne a cozy board games cafe like snakes and latte's in Toronto!

Jason Reid Good call

Joanne Haskins @jackandmaddy does this sometimes.

Tyler Knight Brownstone has all the boardgMes you could want

Maddie Totten McDonald's

Donna Durnford 3 isn't enough lol

Shanaly Aitchison Downtown Orillia We need nightclub considering there are now none in Orillia !

Shanaly Aitchison Or a Hookah lounge like Mazaj in missasauga City of Orillia - Municipality

Ruth Germain You can't just have a chain store or restaurant move here because you want it to. If they are not here now, it is because it is not financially feasible. This is a small community - it should have a small community feel. It should be distinctive. Downtown needs to be more consumer friendly - that means not ticketing a person a minute before they return to their car. It means LOTS of outdoor seating (we have lots of benches in parks - not near enough downtown.) It means ALL stores open at least ONE NIGHT PER WEEK until 9 pm.

Kimberly Huff Old navy

Hannah Walton Chocolate shop  yummm Janine Ariganello There is already Patteleros �

Keri Elliott Rocky Mountain chocolate factory  

Diane Maddeaux I had a ice cream store in historic Chickamauga Georgia made alot of money even in the winter people like ice cream in the winter I also had finger food

Janine Ariganello We have a brand new Kawartha dairy store in the narrows and sweet dreams at the parks �

Sean Dunn The Keg

Sheryll Diezmo I agree the Keg.

Bill Sloane Need a Pot Shop!!! Coming near you soon. Thanks to Justine Trudeau. Lol

Julie Levi Reeves This town really needs a almost perfect store

Jewelzz Von Monroe Panera Bread

Brandy Scarlett An old navy please

Tanya Drysdale Christmas store

Melissa Fletcher A children's used clothing store!

Tammy Edmunds-Hosack Starbucks!

Cliff Murphy another hock shop

Cliff Murphy or funeral home rite by brewery bay and mariposa

Lyndell Oldfield How about a mid range shoe store? Shoe buying is a challenge in Orillia if you don't spend $200 a pair!

Well i was sad to see parenting by nature leave the orillia area it would be amazing to have a similar store in the down town core...I know that there would be some product over lap likely with Jack and maddy but it would still.be nice to have a store similar to parenting by nature down town

Lisa Patricia Maybe one that carried more affordable products for families

Breanna Coxon I couldn't agree more! They had so much stuff there for people who lead a more natural lifestyle. Barrie isn't a short drive away either if I need something. Would love to have a similar store downtown!

Brenda Mary Bolyea Home Scents!

Mindy Grainger We have a Winners. I doubt Orillia would get both.

Deb Mckee Marks and Spencers.

Adam Ross Yogurty's

Sharon Paras Did the survey, quite important to speak up!

Peggy Ferencz A nice coat and affordable clothing store that is for kids and adults maybe with a coffee shop like was

Sheryl Mush Kernels popcorn!!!

Marnie Newbery Quiznos

Mindy Grainger There was a Quiznos on Memorial Avenue, right before Old Barrie Road.

Marnie Newbery Was? :(

Jason Stefaniuk Blockbuster video!! Or a Taco Bell at least!! Lol

Tracey Marsh I agree with a taco bell

Jessica Lynn McIntyre I agree with a Taco Bell too

Mindy Grainger Taco Bell was already in Orillia where the A and W is in Memorial. It didn't last long

Sharon Moore Deli. With European deserts.

Shannon McLaughlin European deli, I miss the European deli

Courtney Thompson A market with fresh fruits and veggies is a must

Free parking would be nice . I paid 30 last week just for parking .

Banks Furniture Downtown residents and employees and employers would take the spots first thing in the morning for the day causing you to walk further. When they make the back lot at Coldwater and West Streets free for December, the entire municipal monthly parking pass lot by the preschool empties into it for the month. Of course not everyone would but enough that there would not be a spot in front of any store. Your buck ensures you a chance at front row parking. Just a thought!

Jessica Lynn McIntyre Taco Bell or hot topic

Sandra Crawford Changing of the Garnet

Amanda Labovitz HOT TOPIC!!!!!!!

Gillian Lowry Mary-Katherine Charters

De Dack Popeyes

Mitch Caldwell It won't be downtown,but there's soon to be the one near

De Dack Thanks,is it the Best Buy on Monarch/West Ridge?

Charlene Lalonde Yes it is De Dack Thnx guys,even better,I lived 5 mins away..lol!

Donaji Trejo Guller roots , paperie, lululemon, kids att studio like 4cats or creative cafe, ice cream

Cliff Murphy lol.. u are facking funny.. a no cash town

Donaji Trejo Guller Theres cash comin with cottagers... Bracebridge has a mukoka bear (close enough to lulu/roots) we can have one too

Sandra Wilkinson shoe store that is cheep

Vanessa Hudson american eagle, billabong, roots, vs and PINK, forever 21

Jenny Kerr LUSH cosmetics!!!

Kristen Laurel YES!!

Jenny Kerr We totally need one! Closet one is Newmarket

Jenny Kerr Country bar with live music where the Tux used to be!

Cliff Murphy lol.. with seniors scooter.. and ebike parking

Jenny Kerr Trouble idea. Nobody in the country likes country.

Marie Wilkinson I love coumtry. Theres alot more people then you think

Jenny Kerr Marie Wilkinson all the ppl like the country!!

Tracy Hornblow We need more accessible hours and youth clothing and shoes stores one to fit anyone's budget

Kim Gammon Affordable clothing store.

Gloria Vieveen Closet Jems

Lori-Anne Kirdeikis Chris Beneteau how about a butcher shop,since freds meats retired there is no where to get fresh steaks from.and would love to not have to pay to park downtown,the only place I go to is studabakers because they have free parking all the time I think its ridiculous to have to pay to park with how high the property taxes are in this city.##1 reason why I don't shop downtown.

Richard Croswell If your looking for a great place for fresh steaks u should go to country produce..

Miriam Goldberger A Great butcher shop would be fabulous.

Shawn Beers Booster juice would be great for all ages

Heather Waller-Rivet Roots

Amy Hartwell Authentic Mexican

Shannon Evans Bath & Body Works

Ashley Joos Booster Juice!! Adrienne Karl Candy store...... affordable!

Adrienne Karl I also agree good country bar with live band at tux!

Carole Ann Liscombe An old style GENERAL STORE.... for people without transportation so they can buy hinges, paint brushes, a hammer, screwdrivers sand paper, potting soil, pots, etc,?

Noah Guerra Mexican food please

STARBUCKS! How does Orillia not have a Starbucks!?

Kevin J Hickey Because we don't need overpriced trendy coffee shop that will go out of business when the winter rolls around and the tourists leave

Angelica Lazary I'm certain we have enough locals to keep it going

Nicole Goodman Kevin J Hickey when target was open, the Starbucks always had a line. And the mariposa coffee bar is always a long wait. Starbucks will fair just fine.

Grant William Have that band on stage play more!!

Cliff Murphy high end strip club.. rite by brewery bay.. a dress code in affect.. a lot of casino gamblers would go.. but this old Fuddy duddy council won't go for that

Becky Lynn Smith I've said for years we need a really good, classy strip club

Cliff Murphy another thing a small satellite police office. .

Walter Earl Lefebvre How about another venue like the " Pav " !! That was a great place . And with the university and community college students , the place would be hopping !!

Lisa Clayton An old fashioned Candy store that's cheap

Heather Jean Myles-Thompson A place for the over 30 crowd.

Robin Pentland Cliff Murphy, you obviously don't care much for Orillia, Brewery Bay, spelling or grammar.

It's odd that you don't care for this city since you've stated that the city is "geared to seniors." You used the term "fuddy duddy" earlier which leads me to believe you may be one of the seniors you were talking about.

Have you considered maybe relocating? Barrie has several "high end strip clubs."

This survey is a great avenue for you to have your say; Your poorly written, attention seeking and not close to funny comments are not. Grow up.

Jenna McIsaac What about the mall Orillia?? WHAT ABOUT THE MALL Jasmine Leonard A hundred mile market would be incredible! Or a shop dedicated to affordable, odd home decor pieces would keep me coming around. (strange bedroom headboards, claw foot bathtubs, antique mirrors, etc.) may be too close of an idea to the antique shops but you know what I mean...

Banks Furniture You can find a lot of that at Banks Furniture Jasmine. New items arrive weekly and you can see what came in new on our website or our FB page which is updated all the time! Over 2,000 sq ft. of showroom and now an added art gallery, The Vault, with traditional and whimsical art by local artists, right in the heart of downtown! Low prices and taxes included in the sticker already.

Jasmine Leonard Go figure. I've lived in Orillia for 4 years now and I can't say I've ever wandered into your store. I'll have to check you out!

Carolyn Oldfield I like both your ideas!

Cheryl Griffith- McIntyre I'd like to see less vape lounges/stores, I think a 3rd one is opening on the Main Street!!!!!

Wolf Mariah Carleton There's only 2 vape shops the others are pot shops and tbh I'm excited to see the new one open

Jennifer Seamont Martini bar

Jim Edwards Orillia needs it's own micro brewery or brew pub.

Jason Da Silva I 100% agree with you! I was thinking this the other day when I was visiting my old hometown, they had a microbrewery and it was great! I imagined that one would do well in orillia, especially downtown area.

Kim Beer Agree!

Kris Taylor Stojic Downtown Orillia needs a market that is open all day, every day like the market in Ottawa or downtown London ON.

Miriam Goldberger I love how Hamilton has combined its library and farmer's market with a central mall. And parking is free when you get your ticket stamped in any store or the library. :)

Victoria Davidson THE MALL NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON

Neil Wrigley Authentic Cuban restaurant!

Irene DeFrance Bring the marble slab to Orillia please :)

Tony Bridgens I would like Mississaga St to be made one-way downhill traffic flow, angle parking one side, one very narrow lane therefore slow traffic and pedestrian mix, sidewalk extended three fold and restaurants equipped with toldos on the sidewalk.ideally an u...See More

Darcey P. Mullen I have said this for years, you stole my idea.... Great minds think alike

Ruth Germain We could have two blocks permanently closed to traffic and for pedestrian traffic only. This is very effective for bringing people downtown. It becomes a social hub. Bev Bebee A fondue restaurant for family's would be great !!!

Nikki D Orillia needs a smoothie place like Euphoria smoothies :)

Amanda K Van Bilsen 'Shine' downtown on Peter street. Awesome smoothies and great food as well.

Shawn Sooley Cheaper Parking, Great Customer Service(no cell phones) and Something that is Open after 7 pm that is not a Bar or Timmies. Like a Café with homemade breads, desserts coffees & maybe liqueurs. Businesses that are Open at all ends of Main Street to keep...See More

Michael Kluth a german kneipe...See Translation

Brian Templeton We need a keg restaurant

Tammy Lebeuf Starbucks and a Jamaican restaurant.....

Teadora Farrell An Authentic Mexican restaurant would be amazing and I also like what Shawn Sooley said about a cafe that is open after 7pm. It would be nice to have a place that is not a Tim Hortons or a bar where people can go to meet with friends or to read a book ...See More

Becky Lynn Smith Don't care what kind of store you put downtown as long as it pays its employees more than minimum wage. Actual residents of Orillia cannot afford to shop in the downtown because they all work for slave wages. Oh and open later than 5pm

Mary Mulvihill-Reed And they also have to pay almost 1 hours wages to park!

Christine Morton We need a seafood restaurant 

Karl Kreutz Green rhino

Sue Russell Walk in Clinic

Donna Durnford I am not sure we need any more restaurants on the main street and there are 2 of them in the downtown core Bounty on Colborne and one just past the Bay on Mississaga, and please no more antiques

Tj Coulson Would love to see a topless strip bar. 

Tj Coulson   �

Ashton Coraleigh Lmao

Mike Ward Why not we got a meth clinic down there so i dont see a problem with this lmao

Amanda K Van Bilsen Lululemon

Christine Bestard Proper maternity store with natural products similar to parenting by nature.

Norma Chrobak Iciban sushi !!!!!

Jenna Anne escape room

Steve Yeardsley Keg restaurant Sharon Ann Atkinson Baker Bring Zellers back with FREE parking!!

Joan Heath Free parking would encourage more shopping.

Erinn Wood Something geared to the youth, and young adults like the cafes in Toronto with board games and pinball or poll tables and a small restaurant menu, and could always double as a bar at night, encore is empty

Barbara Johnston Free parking

Teresa McLaughlin Jones Free parking and maybe have the stores stay open till 9 on a Friday night. Downtown is dead at night because stores close at 5 or 6 every night.

Ashley Scarr-Cooper Stedmans Department Store or a Party store :)

Leanne Davis A board game cafe would be amazing. So would an authentic deli like Caplansky's. A massive coup would be a Big Gay Ice Cream shop....doubt they would open one in Canada though. I'd also like to see a jazz bar that serves great martinis or old-style cocktails for adults who aren't into the raucous bar scene we currently have.

Doug McGarvey More benches and better signage for off street parking. More events at the Opera House, OMAH and the library to make better use of facilities we already have.

Ashton Coraleigh How about all he space in the mall, why is it so empty? You should fill it . A place to buy bras besides walmart or tna would be great

Becky Lynn Smith RioCan gets corporate welfare for all of the empty stores in the Orillia Square. They aren't interested in filling them in the least.

Ashton Coraleigh thanks for the info... Well how about a indoor playground for kids somewhere downtown

Andrew Sparkes Ashton Coraleigh like Torontos Store Front DayCare

Brian Campbell I think a boost to downtown would be 3 sidewalk sales - Andrew to West then West to Peter followed by Peter to Front - make it that all downtown merchants can display and sell at each one

Laurie Burke Old Navy

Davis Djkaos Any store that is currently in the Barrie (Georgian Mall) such as Kernals, Stance, Footlocker, tacobell etc.

Basically people from Orillia travel to Barrie to shop due to lower prices for brand name products, or the products are simply not available in Orillia.

Steve Yeardsley Keg or mandarin on the old goodwill site just in time for new recreation centre

Anne Tassé More vegan/vegetarian options in restaurants please! :-)

Pat Gunson I would think we have enough restaurants. Anne Tassé Definitely not enough vegan/vegetarian options but yes we have alot of restaurants otherwise!

Hilary D. Slater Art Supplies store, Art Gallery,

Mindy Grainger There are galleries on Peter Street and an art supply store close to West Street

Like · Reply · Message · September 1 at 12:03am

Hilary D. Slater Starbucks

Hilary D. Slater Sushi restaurant

Carolyn Oldfield Check out Wadasi Sushi its good and reasonably priced

Andrew Sparkes There's already at least 2 Sushi places downtown

Wolf Mariah Carleton Koi's is the best place all you can eat for a good price :D

Dianne Hill We need more stores Downtown period

Cecilia Kyle More free parking is frustrating you put money on the meter thinking I will be just enough but is not and a ticket on the car so I do a lot of shopping in Barrie at the malls

Dale Duncan FREE PARKING

Veld Huis Booster Juice ! Or some sort of smoothie place.... !

Rosemarie Edmar A board game café or a chisten book store So we church people who dont drive wont have to find a ride to Barrie

Cory Doucette Tiffin creative centre also carries christian books I believe.

Rosemarie Edmar Oh ok thanks

Carolyn Tice Jugo juice or something similar would be nice.

Carolyn Oldfield Check out Shine juice bar

Leanne Young Overpriced

Jojo Plunkett way overpriced...

Tara Smith An arcade

Karen Brodie Princess Auto!!!

Miriam Goldberger out by new Costco maybe....

Karen Brodie My bro would be in heaven! Drives to Barrie 3 times a month, just for those two.

Tahnya Beersington Schwarma place

Kim Coveos Henshall Lisa Van-Beer you know my idea ;) Lisa Van-Beer Where exactly? ☺

Lynn Thomson No to the arcade!!!

Lynn Thomson Art studio for beginners!!!

Crystal Cave Free parking, just like Gravenhurst. That parking meter stops people from shopping downtown. Especially if you are not from Orillia. Just saying, in 20 years I wouldn't shop downtown Orillia or downtown bracebridge.

Dale Duncan not just in Gravenhurst ...most waterfront towns in Ontario have some free parking in the main core ..especially in the summer months

Jasmine Leonard More dog friendly businesses :)

Kiki LaRuse Offer free parking - better for business

Carolyn Oldfield Butcher Shop/Seafood Shop

Mike Ward They cant compete with walmart/zhers/chain stores. There used to be a few downtown such as freds, and our familys old shop; green meadow foods. Big chains and high rent killed that buisness

Carolyn Oldfield Mike Ward it's a shame, grocery store meat is terrible. Have you seen the Market Place show on it? Worth a watch! Also can't get dry or aged steaks

Sandra Poll-Brandon Java cup Co or Koffee Korner

Jasmine Leonard Ooh good idea, even Coffee Culture would be awesome!

Wendy Allison Barmes Vegan cuisine!

Downtown Orillia Have you tried Shine Juice Bar & Cafe in Downtown Orillia Orillia? Their menu is 100% vegan and gluten free. It's located at 11 Peter St S.

Wendy Allison Barmes thank you!

Melissa Montgomery Some sort of wifi café lounge... I know we have Mariposa and the library, but it is almost impossible to get a seat in either of those sometimes.

Lynn Ormiston I totally agree  too

Lynn Ormiston We need more wifi places in town for sure

Leanne Young Starbucks

Laura Lynn Poole I would love to come back, great store

Sandi Blacoe A pub..butcher shop..

Jim Oneill Make it a destination point for restaurants. Barrie's downtown has about 8 restaurants now with sidewalk patios.

Cliff Murphy that ain't going to happen.. not with this council Kernels popcorn

David James King Soft ice cream shop !!! Needed badly 7053307317 Dave

David James King With chocolate soft icecream

Andrew Caspersen Put in a family fun eatery like Chuck E Cheese. And free parking.

Mary Woodman Wow how about having the stores open Friday nite and Sunday too!

Carrie Hill Kujan There is soft ice cream across from giant tiger.

Penny Kerr A place to buy sheets and towels other than "Liquidation Nation"

Rory Ford This goes to show that: a) people do not know what is already in this city, and b) Orillia has some of the worst tastes in the world. A chuck-e-cheese!?! Yes! That'll make Orillia seem so much more friendly. Robots. That sing. Wow.

Angelica Lazary I thought the same thing (about people not knowing what is already downtown).

Melissa Montgomery Also those who are suggesting big box stores... ya some popular stores would be nice but the buildings downtown aren't ginormous

Angelica Lazary We need classy, charming shops downtown (like Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Collingwood). Stop allowing low end, pot/bong/vape/dollar store/junk stores to open. We actually need stores that DRAW people downtown.

Rob Brabant Very well said .

Melissa Montgomery I agree, everything downtown is either really junky, or super expensive/geared to such a niche group. There needs to be places that people want to keep coming back to, not just check it out one time just to look and carry on.

Bekkah Alkema A kids clothing store. Not nearly enough selection in Orillia, would love a store that brings in unique and different quality items rather that cheaply made box store items. Or even a used one that does well like once upon a child.

Dave Nickerson if you drive, there is no need to shop downtown . too expensive and no free parking , make the journey to the pit of Orillia not worth going. So suggesting any new project for downtown is not worth any future company's time. the new Costo area will soon enough bankrupt the downtown core even more.

Ilona Janes-Guerra An Italian bakery and hot table

Pamela Anne AvōcoBar definitely needs to come to Orillia, as well as Pump'd Supplements & Smoothies

Mike Lavender Avoco for sure!! We need more fresh options!

Gayle Sawchuck-Guymer How about Muskoka Bear Wear Store

Ed Richter Possibly have Mississauga become a pedestrian mall on Sat. And Sun. During the summer to encourage more entertainment. Alyssa Lockhart Kids clothing, plus sizes and menswear. Some sort of grocery store, somewhere to buy gifts....with reasonable prices! More kid focused stores.

Lynn Ormiston Ya I totally agree  we definitely need Big Lots back or Byway that store was awesome

Chantelle Coles Local artists and craft vendors with a flea market type of deal. Orillia show cases a lot of Art, but what about the other local artisans that aren't just painters and sculptors but for more for handcrafted gifts and baked goods, like an etsy type store if you will. Even if it is just as big as Mariposa or even the Antique shop.

Jaime-Lea Tice LA SENZA or somewhere to purchase bras and underwear other then walmart .

Mindy Grainger There was one in the mall. I can't remember if it is still there or not

Tay Gammon Its gone

Stacey Martin Wiseman TNT moved out of downtown

Jolene Janes Sutton Victoria's Secret

Amanda Varcoe Lol ice cream/frozen yogurt place

Lisa Adams Mexican Restaurant. A real one.

Andrew Sparkes Orillia City TV with a booth like Toronto has

Andrew Sparkes A 3D Printing shop

Nancy Norris Ough a kids zone mini golf movies..trampoline.. a fun place for kids

Ojan Borot How about just some free parking, all the time. More people would come to the stores that are already there if parking was free. If downtown was busy with shoppers, more stores would be interested in moving there. In the meantime, I'll keep shopping where parking is affordable.

Maxine Wood Somewhere inviting and safe for coffee and/or dessert after dinner

Kara Marie Some nice classy clothing store that is cheap for everyone to shop n get nice clothes so that people that don't have much money like most can get nice things too :)

Amy Hartwell Italian bakery/deli/lunch counter ... Like the 'Italian Bakery' in Barrie - amazing place !!

Mathew Lagendyk John 3:16“For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.19And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.20For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.21But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

So Orillia can guide you to OTHER PLACES to have fun..SO.....Why not have a FAMILY billiards and arcade/ game room? A place where families with kids can buy treats that are good for them, and also participate in some family games Sounds good to me and I don't even like kids.

Greg Oliver MAYBE GO TO COUCHICHING PARK , no money involved, just good healthy family fun !

Carole Ann Liscombe Greg Oliver, YES!!! Just anything but "Welcome to Orillia now, go to Rama. !! Does no one see the idiocy in this being on our Orillia Internet page? When Googling Orillia, I would assume people are looking for things to do IN ORILLIA... not directions on how to get out.

Rob Gallagher Deli.

Marv Platten I miss the deli that was on Mississauga.

Scott Weiler A food market that sells local farm produce and meats

Sheila Beausoleil Irwin I'd like to see a Danier Leather Store

Angela Dawn-Marie Calas Danier leather has gone bankrupt and is closing or has closed all of its Canadian stores. Debbie LaBrash Barkey There are so many things Orillia's downtown needs, for starters have stores open past 5 pm, free parking, decent stores that everyone can afford( not dollars stores) stores that young families ca afford to shop in such asH&M, children's clothing stores etc Orillia wants the community to shop here then start making Orillia a shopping destination like Barrie.

Patti MacDonald-Ivey Get out of the 70's and 80's , get rid of parking fee's ,shoppers will come , if you don't,sit on your hands and watch Costco and others eat your lunch ,Steve

Richard Fallows Yes I have to agree with everyone parking is very main issue even those that come down and park and pay for it forget how long they been and still end up with a ticket it's just wrong wrong wrong and I've watched those metre maids like vultures they are they love their job I don't know what kind of human beings they are but they love giving tickets

Kristen Laurel Lush Cosmetics, a butcher, and a microbrewery.

Sandra Best I love Orillia's downtown but it could use a chain clothing store for the teens/20- somethings. Also, free parking is a big one!

Melanie St Germaine Picard's Peanuts

Megan Adams New service....free parking before anything new comes...

Lindsay Anne Frozen yogurt place. Yummmm

Trevor Waites You are trying to attract people to downtown and giving them tickets? High property taxes! I moved to Barrie! Good luck Orillia! There is a lot of unrealized potential there.

Lorraine Bingham We need a department store downtown. I have sent visitors to the hospital to Wallmart for nightgowns etc for family because there was nothing available downtown at a reasonable prices. Free parking would also be an asset

Steve Yeardsley Curry house

Joy Leslie A store that carries a variety of clothes for children ....not a boutique....we used to have Zellers and Woolworths right downtown.....we need some "bread and butter" type store where all families can shop...

Wayne Oliver No frills.

Becky Lynn Smith That will never happen

Carole Ann Liscombe FREE PARKING, MORE PLACES TO SIT!!!

Mike Harvey The downtown core is inviting to all. Any free parking will be inherently abused by people who don't care if they park all day, even if they are not shopping. Employees would use up the parking spaces if they were free, leaving no room for customers. S...See More

Becky Lynn Smith I'm willing to bet that all of the minimum wage employees of the downtown would beg to differ on the need for free parking

Mike Harvey Not saying that. There should be employee parking permits issued for people working downtown at a reduced rate or free, but that then takes up all the parking for the customers who will visit the stores and keep those same employees employed. Where does the line stop? Who is more important? the Customer or the Employee? The same question as what came first. The chicken or the Egg?

Appendix F – Definitions & NAICS Codes

Downtown Orillia Retail Mix Analysis, Orillia, Ontario

Gross Leasable Area (GLA) Gross leasable area (GLA) is the total retail floor area designed for tenant occupancy and exclusive use, including basements, upper floors and mezzanines. It is expressed in square feet and measured from the centre line of joint partitions and from outside wall faces. GLA is the area on which tenants pay rent and which produces income for a tenant. Since it lends itself readily to measurement and comparison, GLA has been adopted by the shopping centre industry as its standard for statistical comparison.

Per Capita Income Per capita income represents average total personal income before tax, as defined by Statistics Canada. The Trade Area income indices to the Province are based on the results of the 2006 Census of Canada, the most recent year for which this type of Census information is available.

Per Capita Retail Expenditures Figure D-1 details our calculations of per capita retail expenditures in the Province of Ontario for 2012, including the NFSR and FSR categories. These calculations are based on Statistics Canada, Retail Trade data, using annualized data for January to September 2012.

Trade Area Per Capita Retail Expenditures Per Capita retail expenditures for Trade Area residents have been calculated in this report based on regression equations utilizing Statistics Canada, Survey of Household Spending data. Figure D-2 presents the calculations of various regression equations, including for FSR and NFSR expenditures, based on data for Ontario from 2010.

Expenditure Potential Expenditure potential is the total annual expenditures made by Trade Area residents. This includes purchases made both inside and outside the Trade Area. It is calculated by multiplying the average per capita expenditure in each store category by the total population of a defined area.

Real Growth Real growth refers to the amount that sales volumes or expenditures would increase in future years, after discounting for inflation.
