It is now almost certain (post election) that Scarborough Town Centre will get direct subway access. It will be the fourth regional mall in Toronto to have this, after Yorkdale, Toronto Eaton Centre and Fairview Mall. $/Sqft will increase significantly. urbantoronto.ca/news/2017/03…

70% gross margin business! 20 auto stores! and a partnership with #Amazon! Good move #Sears 👍 cnbc.com/amp/2018/05/09/sear…
Lower number of stores and GM% than #Walmart! What makes #Costco successful is its high revenue per emp to increased Costco memberships. However, with low operating margins, I doubt this current business model will keep them competitive in the long run. youtube.com/watch?v=hOHydiS5…
