Yorkdale Mall announces its expansion is almost complete, proves it is not the Yorkdale Mall of yesterday
Yorkdale made a big announcement today, sharing the news that its planned 145,000-square-foot expansion will be completed by Nov. 15. Among the 30 stores set to open are Ted Baker London, Kate Spade New York, Tesla Motors, Ann Taylor, Diesel, Wilfred Boutique, The North Face, an exclusive Rolex boutique at Raffi Jewellers, and Ta-ze and Joey restaurants. Holt Renfrew, Lacoste and Club Monaco will move to larger locations within the expansion, and Loft will open in late 2012. The transformation of Yorkdale is a bit shocking—it has gone from an average mall with an Orange Julius and a Rainforest Café to the glistening, Vegas-like gauntlet of high-end shops we know today. What’s next: a roller coaster and an aquarium?

well, heres hoping the expansion brings better shoes
I find amazing shoes @ DAVIDS always
Welcome to anywhere USA. What happened to showcasing unique Canadian stores like Bayview Village has done. Maybe instead of adding middle of the road US brands work on the horrible parking situation.
Your headline is misleading. You make it sound like there is another expansion planned, not that the current one is almost complete.
i used to find amazing shoes at davids. now i find ok shoes at amazing prices.
or maybe you refer to a davids in berlin or something?
@ cathie ummmmm nope. “Yorkdale Mall announces its expansion is almost complete” is pretty clear.
skim milk not sentences.
@sugarsugar: The headline was changed from yesterday, when it simply said “Yorkdale Mall announces expansion”. They added the “is almost complete” part today.
I am excited at the prospect of finally being able to shop Kate Spade and Loft without having to go across the border.
I do miss Simpson’s, just for the beautiful logo. I wish you had put a little more effort into the photos of the current mall – 2 shots of the same corridor and one of the exterior sign that’s been there for years? How is this showcasing the expansion?
It’s basically the same. In addition to becoming more expensive and reflecting the move towards multi-nationals, its added a few stores and parking. The lack of outside shots is probably because boxes surrounded by massive parking lots only look appealing to investors.
