Merivale is the one that will probably close soon. A few months ago, they sold the property and put the “store closing” signs up, but took them down when the sale fell through. I assume it will close again when they sell the property again.
The only one that I believe hasn’t closed or tried to close is the St. Laurent one. Even the one in Gatineau apparently had closing signs, but I don’t know if they actually closed or not yet.
Dang, but it’s sorta fair considering how the area’s not thay dense. Ottawa will, I hope, one day understand that building large box stores away from customers just isn’t the play.
But I live in Montréal now where mid-density is king and we got toy and game shops opening up across the street from other toy and game shops because customers density supports that kinda behaviour.
