The Bay wins Gold @ Olympics Cash Register


I had a chance to visit The Bay's main store on Granville between business meetings today and let me tell you the place was an absolute madhouse of international travellers and locals lined up to buy official Olympic gear.


The Canada stuff is selling like hotcakes - I have not seen crowds like this since a boxing day run for a cheap TV s. The Bay have done well with this line and everyone is buying it - men, women and kids - I think it is hotter than the Roots stuff of a couple years ago. They also had a special Russia Sochi 2016 section - great idea and superb execution and of course, the Americans were grabbing the Ralph Lauren Team USA Polo gear.


Well done Bay - and your staff was smiling through this mob scene!
Related updates: Granville is alive and well - fabulous art displays and wonderful to see everyone from all over the world taking it in. The Skytrain is awesome - clean, on time and moving everyone nicely, but you can feel the crowds starting to come in now - no long line ups and again, the TTC needs to get out here to see how it is done.
Lot's of last minute touch ups at City Live park, but everyone seems to have a smile on their faces. 5 days to go as of tomorrow, and many people back at work - let's see how the commute is tomorrow
