The refurbishment of the mall will happen in stages and a majority of the current stores will be relocating, due to their leases expiring. The entire project is expected to be complete by spring of 2018, with the CEO and president of Retrocom, Richard Michaeloff, commented to CBC News:
“It's just a tired centre, you know? It has seen better days. When it was built out back then it served a purpose and it was modern, but over the years it just became really dated.”
Real Canadian Superstores is one of the new enterprises that is expected to be moving into the mall, which will be opening its doors in mid-2017.
The plan is for the mall to represent an outdoor center rather than an enclosed area. Preparation for the project is expected to begin right away, with the actual job starting in September.
The mall’s pool hall, bowling alley, Broken Rack bar, and Rainbow Cinemas will be staying, with Michaeloff adding:
“That's really the only part of the mall that won't be impacted.”
Companies like Retrocom that are involved in the project will likely benefit from printing services to help with the development, especially as a number of Signs may be needed to inform patrons of the changes.
