General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[danbrotherston]

Noticed this week that Frederick Mall seems to be readying a unit for a new tenant - the empty storefront that previously housed the Christian bookstore (and Steve's TV Rentals before that, and Pharma Plus a loooong time ago) is getting a door cut into the exterior wall to provide access directly from the parking lot, facing towards the grocery store. Previously it was only accessible by entering the mall first. No signage up yet for whoever is taking that space next.

I know Frederick Mall is old and has a reputation for being lacklustre and kind of a dump, but it legitimately has a number of stores that our family uses regularly (groceries, Dollarama, barber shop, optometrist, sewing store, Subway), and I'd love to see more life breathed into it again!

I used to go to the grocery store there occasionally...it reminded me of all the struggling malls of my youth.

I didn't know all that stuff was there as well, I don't think I actually ever went in the mall.
