I figured things were at the end when Nespresso pulled out their boutique from the flagship downtown Montreal location last year, or two years ago.

The homeless tents lined up on the West and East sides of the building didn’t help, or the defective escalators.

They say the retail landscape changed too much and passed them by, but downtown there’s Simon’s that has IMO pretty much the same large store with clothes, sheets, bath supplies. No appliances or perfumes though, maybe The Bay was just too big.
