The sign is finally up, but the size is way down

Indigo Spirit store, Granville Street, Vancouver, BC

The sign is up on the store that will be replacing the Aldo on Granville and Robson Streets in Vancouver.

In June 2015, a 52,000 square foot Chapters store closed at Howe and Robson in Vancouver. It is being replaced by a 5,000 square foot "Indigo Spirit" location. While the store will sell some books, there will also be a large selection of other goods.

Shrinking by 90% is never a good sign for a business, and most people I talk to give the whole Indigo chain two to three years. We'll just have to wait and see.
