At least half a dozen new stores and restaurants are about to set up shop at The Shoppers Mall in Brandon.
The new additions are just one major change to the 367,000-square-foot building. Morguard Real Estate announced Monday it plans to redevelop the main entrance as well as other common areas.
A release said the changes are part of a “remerchandising strategy” by the building’s owner.
“This transformation signals a new era at Shoppers Mall,” said John Levac, Vice President, Asset Management at Morguard REIT in a news release.
“The investment is designed to cater to the demands of the community and attract new shoppers seeking exceptional choice and diverse retailers.”
All of the construction is estimated to be finished by the middle of 2017 and cost around $30 million.
A Sobeys Extra will take over the 62,000-square-foot location left vacant when Target closed down. It is anticipated the store will be open this winter.
