I’m not sure if this is any indication on how fast Vanmar is moving on the development here. Being that the zone change hasn’t even been submitted yet, and that the ZBA and site plan takes almost a year to be approved at least. Maybe they wanted to move early based on other factors

A note about the new Goodwill going in at the old Waterloo Chapters - it's a completely new location, the Kitchener store by Weber and Fergus will remain. I'd mistakenly assumed the Kitchener one was moving.

Old Goat Books in Uptown has a new owner. There had been an announcement that they were closing, but they will remain open.

Although it fills otherwise empty space, I always take it as a bad sign when things like gyms and dance studios start moving into a mall.

I'd rather a martial arts or dance studio to be somewhere relatively close to home instead of in the middle of an industrial park, like so many seem to be (lots of space for cheaper rent, I get it, doesn't mean I like it). It's so much nicer to be able to walk to activities like that, or for older kids to walk themselves and not be reliant on their parents for a ride. But yes, there's a few empty units in that mall right now, and it's good to see one that's been sitting empty for so long get a tenant.
