Bob Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 As a regular customer of the Bay's Olympic store I have known for sometime that the shop was going to further expand later this year. Now it is official ... Olympic souvenir superstore By BOB MACKIN, 24 HOURS Get ready for the Olympic floor at Hudson's Bay Company's downtown Vancouver flagship store. The existing Vancouver 2010 Olympic souvenir department will expand to cover two-thirds of the main floor at the West Georgia Street Bay store, 24 hours has learned. Grand opening of the Vancouver 2010 superstore is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 1. Olympic souvenir superstores have traditionally been located under massive temporary tents, like the 2,000-square-metre facility at Torino 2006 that drew 300,000 shoppers.

mr.x Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 This is quite impressive....I'm assuming the whole watch section and the eastern half of the lower floor will be dedicated to the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Olympic Superstore at Torino was located under temporary tent during the Games, but there were a number of other shops around Torino and Italy that were open for years before and during the Olympics.
