Canadian department store chain Simons is boldly eschewing the doom-and-gloom narrative that's dominated the shopping mall landscape in the GTA lately, entering a phase of ambitious expansion at a time when competitors like Hudson's Bay, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom (and before them, Sears and Eaton's) no longer exist in the market.The Quebec-based retailer, known as purveyors of stylish choices under both exclusive house labels and well-known designer names, has just officially opened a new location in Toronto's Yorkdale Shopping Centre, with another coming to the CF Eaton Centre this fall.And, we got an early peek at the store on Thursday morning before it launched to the public.Taking over the two-level anchor space formerly held by a Nordstrom, the outpost is the eighteenth store for Simons, and its biggest one outside of Quebec.

Still, when she heard the news that the corporate coffee juggernaut would eventually move into a retail space in an under-construction condo building right next door, it sent her into a bit of a tailspin.Cohabitating with o...
