I’d say “interested” – somewhere between “meh” and “somewhat excited”. It’s another store, it brings something previously “unobtainable”, locally, to town. Once it’s “here”, it’ll just be another part of the local retail scene, no different than the first local Tim Horton’s, Trader Joe’s, Apple store, Fiat store, Smashburger or Krispy Kreme. The fan boys and girls will be in hog heaven, local shoppers will have another place to shop, and the world will go on . . .
Excited for the revitalization of the area including positive spill over.
I agree but to be honest, I’m rather surprised at the slow pace and apparently scaled-back plans of the Midtown Station redevelopment.
