IMO that location is no good for them anymore. There are no more
stores in West End Mall, not until you hit the strip part, SDM and
Winners, there haven't been for awhile. Now that the Access Centre
moved out, probably not a lot of retail traffic goes over to that end.
I understand they've turned the mall part into mostly offices, medical
and such I think?

**  Makes sense KD - that's probably the 'real estate' reason they're 
using... they're selling off the property because The Bay isn't making money 
in that location, and looking to the future we have a growing need for more 
medical or associated offices.

Those employees in Halifax can't be thrilled with the news.

I still wonder what's going to happen to all Bay stores around here; before 
this news broke I heard someone that works for the one at Mic Mac tell me 
(shortly after the Target / Zellers announcement) that it wouldn't be long 
before that place would be going under.  I didn't put too much credence in 
their opinion then, but now I wonder.

One thing's for sure - the Halifax store will be clearing their stuff 
through the Dartmouth doors soon.  Watch for sales! :)
