  • Gradual but Perceptible Change Behind Top Canadian Retail, Shopping Centre Trends* Retail Landscape Transformed While Still Amid Strict Regulations
    December 20, 2017 Gradual But Perceptible Change Behind Top Canadian Retail, Shopping Centre Trends* Retail Landscape Transformed While Still Amid Strict Regulations Abstract: This article reviews major trends that are affecting retailers and shopping centres in Canada. Notably, it examines Millennials, a group similar to those in the U.S. in size and impact but different in life experiences. In addition, the report discusses pure-play retailers opening stores, store closures, luxury retail, changing consumer food expectations and tastes, experiential concepts and unconventional uses, pop-up stores, mixed-use centers, and environmental sustainability. 1) Store Closures/Openings: Canada Gets the Lite Version One notable recent exception to that trend: Sears Canada, Despite increased e-commerce activity in Canada (notably by which in October said it would seek court approval to liquidate all Amazon), a smaller market, less competition and a more stable of its remaining stores and assets.1 Aware of the company’s retail environment have resulted in the level and rate of closures in growing difficulties, shopping centre landlords had already the nation being lower than what is being experienced in the U.S. undertaken extensive analyses and preliminary preparations this year. In many cases, U.S. parent companies, while shutting a before the announcement. Already, many landlords have lined up large number of stores in America, have announced none or only new tenants to fill these vacancies. Redemising of the space will a few in Canada, often as a result of better sales performance. Lessons Learned Canadian shopping centre landlords and their tenants are experiencing many of the same changes that are remaking the industry elsewhere in North America, but the smaller size of the market and a stricter regulatory environment are, at least to some extent, limiting the full impact.

A new park, Muehlebach Field, dedicated to the great American sport, Baseball, will open Tuesday, July third, Brooklyn Avenue at 22nd. This event will be of interest to all who enjoy clean, healthful, outdoor recreation. The day has gone by when business men look upon a holiday as a lost opportunity. It is now considered an INVESTMENT, as employer and employe alike return, not only with renewed ambition, but with new thoughts and new ideas for which Old Man Success is always on the lookout. For this reason, I recommend that every employer forget the ever present serious side of life and attend the opening baseball game at Muehlebach Field. I also recommend that every employer as far as possible give the same privilege to his employes. To set the example for this recommendation, and to demonstrate its practicality, I declare Tuesday afternoon, July third, a half holiday for all City Hall Employes, beginning at Twelve o’clock (noon).
