McNally Robinson’s Polo Park Winnipeg location permanently closed its doors on Sunday January 3, 2010.
This was very shocking news as it seems that the location had just opened and Polo Park had done some extensive renovations to its exterior for this store (which used to be housed by Sport Chek)
The Grant Park location continues to remain open.
The Winnipeg location wasn’t the only one to get the axe, the location at the Shops at Don Mills in Toronto was also closed.
McNally Robinson filled for bankruptcy protection late December. The struggling economy and stagnant book prices made it difficult for the company to stay a float.
There is now a very large void in the heart of Polo Park Shopping Centre. What shop do you want to see occupy the space?
