Holt Renfrew announces a big redesign of its Yorkdale location for the 2012 holiday season

Sometimes, let’s face it, bigger is better, and in retail, it seems that if a company is as huge as Holt Renfrew, the only direction to move is up (and, well, out). Today Holts announced that its Yorkdale location will be adding 40 per cent more retail space, securing its place as the big dog in the mall’s luxury wing. Forty per cent in hard numbers equates to 70,000 square feet (from 51,000), and the new footage can only mean that the experience will slightly mirror the massive Bloor Street flagship’s brand availability. Thrill-seeking customers will still be able to shop during the renovation process, with or without a hard hat.
