Kenadian Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 When they say "one of six" does that mean six Olympic stores in general, six Olympic stores at YVR, or six new stores in general at YVR? Wonder where other stores will be, outside of the airport? Obvious locations are Downtown (near or on Robson, in PC, or the re-developing Granville theatre block) and Whistler. But others? Maybe Metrotown or even other cities like Victoria, Kelowna, or even Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Like the rest of Canada needs VANOC over-priced junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four additional Olympic Stores are scheduled to open at YVR in the coming months in both the Domestic and International terminals. All stores are expected to open by early October 2008 and will be open seven days a week from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm. The Olympic Stores accept Visa products and cash only. Despite what some people believe, these stores do sell some quality merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memorabilia Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 First at YVR ??? I was there (i mean, in the Airport) in october 2007 and already visited a shop totally dedicated to official 2010 products... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Why so many stores in the Airport? I guess in each terminal, but seems like there'll be more Quatchis than Starbucks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I need to check the store at Canada Olympic Park where I am, but I thought I have seen some Vancouver 2010 merchandise on sale already over there. So, I think the answer has already been mentioned in that first post by mr.x that there will be SIX such stores just in YVR alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Well, 2010 merch has been on sale for years at many locations across Canada. Starting with the Bay and Zellers...but it is at tourist shops everywhere now. I've even seen it at the Toronto Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
