It doesn't look that big to me.

if only you've been inside

Hopefully the tenants 'KNOW' they're leaving!? No closing out or moving signs.

Maybe they know now.

We're still waiting on an Apple store to arrive in Vancouver...common Apple, get with it.

So the store "MENS" in these photos sells high end menswear with brands like Hugo Boss, Diesel, J. Lindberg (spelling?), etc. -- The owner of this store has two other stores (with different names) in the same vicinity:
1) Hugo Boss (a franchise) on Crescent at Ste-Catherine; and
2)Another store (name escapes me) on Peel near Sherbrooke (inbetween BMO "Bank of Montreal" and Mikasa Japanese Steakhouse/The Best Western... across the street from the prestigious MAA health club.

Anyway, my guess is the clothing from the MENS location will be filtered into the two other locations which carry the same brands/have the same store clientele.

Now... to the immediate left of MENS is TAG- a cigar shop. And to the right is Ogilvy's which caters to high end men and women as it recently (maybe two years ago) expanded its Louis Vuitton boutique. The windows of Ogilvy's from left to right showcase the beauty department, MAC cosmetics mini-boutique and Louis Vuitton's mini-boutique.

This area garners a lot of foot traffic as you can imagine because it is on Ste-Catherine street which is already a street lined with stores for several blocks, but also it is at Crescent (street to the left in these photos)- which is heavily populated by tourists (there is a Hard Rock Cafe there).

Apple definitely chose a dominant location for their Canadian flagship location. It's too bad I no longer live in Montreal\- but Toronto has an Apple store that suits my needs.

Hope they will improve the french experience. French is important for Quebec consumer.
