Hey there, time traveller!

ONE of the biggest names in clothing is pulling out of Polo Park Shopping Centre.
Tommy Hilfiger’s store in Winnipeg’s biggest mall will close Dec. 31 putting 30 employees out of work.
Store manager Trish Paterson said the clothier will maintain its big box outlet on South Kenaston Boulevard and will look for other retail opportunities in Winnipeg.
“We’re not renewing our lease at the mall,” she said. One possibility is opening up a stand-alone location, she said.
“With a free-standing store, the people walking in your doors are there specifically for your merchandise. At the mall, you never know what store people are going to go into. A lot of them are just wandering around,” she said.
Deborah Green, general manager at Polo Park, said Tommy Hilfiger clothing is available at The Bay at Polo Park.
“They were working well here, they’re a strong retailer,” she said.
Green said the 5,000-square-foot space on the mall’s second floor won’t be empty for long. Negotiations are ongoing with a major retailer and an announcement will be made soon.
