I do agree some things are concerning coming from Liu. Also know landlords want control . Thinking of alternatives- Sears Oshawa that’s sat empty for 7 years with a string of temp tenants or another Ardene, Dollarama, Urban Planet box 🥱 @RetailInsider_ storeys.com/ruby-liu-hudsons…

Ruby Liu’s ideas of dining/ entertainment within stores might be difficult @OshawaCentre as lease seems to not allow it. Interesting since the store used to have a restaurant in the 90s. #hbc #retail #news @RetailInsider_

If Weihong Liu can’t use the Hudson’s Bay IP too bad she couldn’t use the Eaton’s name! With Hudson’s Bay at CT it would be nice for Eaton’s to make a comeback- Another Canadian retail Icon. Looking forward to seeing her vision come to life. #hudsonsbay #retail @RetailInsider_

If any stores are saved I think most of them need a full gut and redo. Oshawa store looks like the day it was built including the ash trays in the washroom. Maybe affordable food-hall like @marksandspencer driving traffic. cbc.ca/news/business/hudsons…

Maybe keep Bay at flagships. Others-some of space to open Zellers w/restaurant (reno, revive Truly/use anko, HBC heritage products, services like pharmacy, optical, salon depending on location) -landlord repurpose extra space. #thebay #retail #Canadian @RetailInsider_ #hudsonsbay

I think if you were to have the HBC heritage products like blankets etc you should also have a section for aboriginal artists/companies to showcase/sell products. Local artists as well and Canadiana. A Canada Department of sorts (The Canada Shop) I bet Doug Putman could do it!
