“We have confirmed a new location in Halifax a few weeks ago. So we’ve announced that to our internal teams and we’re really at the embryonic phase of that project but that will complete our coast to coast presence,” said Leblanc.
“So more to come on Atlantic Canada in the next few months.”
Haligonians have been excited about the chance of a Simons department store since the prospect of a store was first reported by Halifax ReTales blogger, Arthur Gaudreau.
