The evolution of Park Royal continues as the shopping centre embarks on renovations that will position it as a leader in the home fashion arena and propel its fashion mix to an even higher level. The move is an extremely pos- itive one that will see a revitalized, expanded Eaton's department store, addition of a home fashion area featuring a new Eaton’s Home Store, and a new malt linking The Public Market to the rest of the South Malt. Style is definitely the recurring theme throughout the renovations. Eaton’s will renovate and expand its exist- ing store to emerge as Vancouver's first full fashion department store. The new Eaton’s wilt be unlike anything seen in the Vancouver market to date and will be the catalyst for cementing Park Royal as one of Western Canada’s mos: prominent fashion centres. Eaton’s will expand its upper level by 20,000 square feet and surrender a portion of the main floor in order to accommodate a new mall that will! connect through to The Market. In addition to the structural changes to Eaton's, the product mix will change. World class fashion collections will be showcased in designer areas uniquely layed out and decorated to emphasize the characteristics and concept of each designer. Walking through these areas, shoppers wilt be exposed to the quality fashions of Internationally-leading designers like Raiph Lauren, Lausen by Ralph Lauren, Tommy-girl by Tommy Hilfiger, Emma James, Jones of New York, Wear to Work, Weekend Wear, Attitude and more. Introducing these new elements will strengthen the South Mall allowing it to emulate the success of the North Mall. The changes bring Park Royal's stores and services count to 250, making it one of the largest shopping centres in Greater Vancouver. Construction is underway with completion scheduled for the fall of 1997. Costs forthe | project are estimated at $21 million bringing the renovation and expansion investment in Park Royal to over $50 million since 1992. Eaton’s Home Store to anchor home fashion wing. The Eaton’s Home Store is a new concept for Eaton's and will be the first of its kind in Canada. Featuring fur- niture, electronics, appliances and home fashion accessories, the 38,000 square-foot store will anchor Park Royal's new home fashion wing and is scheduled to open May of 1997. Eaton’s Home Store will offer a diverse selection of designer home fashion products displayed in settings guaranteed to inspire and deliver ideas to redo or retouch your home.
