Kin's Market and Brentwood Cleaners to be moved

Although not yet officially announced, the removal of the mall front from Bank of Montreal (BMO) to IHOP will go further inward than I previously mentioned.  The shops affected are situated within the area between the outer IHOP and inwards up to Kin's Market.  I've heard that the BMO is looking at moving it's branch into the recently vacated space that housed SportMart.  A dentist's office affected by the Brentwood Mall Redevelopment (BMR) might be looking at the empty space next to SportMart which used to house a pet store.

That is a significant amount of mall space that will be removed to accommodate Phase 1 of the BMR which will extend to the corner of Lougheed Hwy and Willingdon Ave.  As exciting as the development is, I  hope that Kin's will remain open somewhere else at the mall as more than half of my produce currently comes from there.

Sport Mart and Zellers to close in March

Sport Mart and Zellers at Brentwood Mall will both be closing their doors for good this March.  Zellers has signs that its fixtures and shelves are for sale and Sport Mart has everything discounted at 30% off its lowest price tag on all items.

With Zellers gone and Target preparing to take over the space, I wonder if the existing section that houses Zellers will be torn down and rebuilt as part of the overall expansion of the mall or if it will just be renovated.  The Sport Mart space is near the opposite end of the mall and probably likely will not factor into Phase 1 of the redevelopment.
