Starting May 31, the beloved Walnut Crunch and Cherry Stick donuts will be available for the first time in over 10 years, just in time for National Donut Day on June 2.

If you want to get a taste of these iconic donuts, the Walnut Crunch will be available in Tims restaurants across Canada and at participating Quebec locations – and the Cherry Stick will be available in Tim Hortons restaurants across Quebec, and at participating locations in the rest of Canada.

That’s right – Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack are closing all its locations in Canada, as announced in a Nordstrom Press Release.
Nordstrom Canada intends to wind down its operations with the help of a third-party liquidator, and its e-commerce platform, eventually closing by the end of summer.
Its Canadian website will cease operations on March 2, 2023, followed by store closures expected to be completed by late June 2023.
“…We also made the difficult decision to wind down operations in our Canadian business. This will enable us to simplify our operations and further increase our focus on driving long-term profitable growth in our core U.S. business,” said Erik Nordstrom, chief executive officer of Nordstrom, Inc.
Nordstrom’s first Canadian location was opened in 2014 at CF Chinook Centre in Calgary and Nordstrom Rack’s first Canadian store opened in 2018 at Vaughan Mills.
Nordstrom Canada operates six Nordstrom stores and seven Nordstrom Rack stores, along with its website. Employing about 2,500 people.
“We regularly review every aspect of our business to make sure that we are set up for success,” said Erik Nordstrom. “We entered Canada in 2014 with a plan to build and sustain a long-term business there. Despite our best efforts, we do not see a realistic path to profitability for the Canadian business. We want to thank our team for their performance and dedication in serving customers in Canada. This decision will simplify our structure, intensify focus on our growth and profitability goals and position us to create greater value for our shareholders.”
After this summer, if Canadians want to shop from Nordstrom, they’ll have to travel south of the border.

The popular UK beauty brand Jo Malone London will open three standalone stores in Canada next year, as announced by Retail Insider. The cult brand, which sells perfume, home fragrance, and body care, will pair up with major shopping centres to launch its first locations in Toronto and Vancouver.
It has been reported that Toronto will get two out of three stores. One location will be at CF Toronto Eaton Centre and the other at Yorkdale Shopping Centre. In addition, Vancouver will have a location at the CF Pacific Centre. All three Jo Malone store openings are slated for May/June 2021.
The Eaton Centre store will be the larger of the two Toronto boutiques and located next to Club Monaco, on the third floor. The Yorkdale boutique will be smaller and near designer retailers Chloe and Louis Vuitton. Likewise, the Vancouver Jo Malone will be among luxury brands, on the upper level of the CF Pacific Centre.
If you’ve ever tried a Jo Malone fragrance, you understand the hype behind the brand.

Canada has a plethora of grocery stores to choose from, but that doesn’t mean shoppers aren’t interested in seeing more!
From beautiful, high-end grocers to ones that offer unique experiences, Canadians are always looking to expand their horizons and try out new international chains.
And just recently, a Chinese grocery chain announced that it would be moving into the Canadian market.
Sungiven is a Chinese grocery chain with over 100 locations in China.
The grocery chain is known for its private brand products, which can also be found in a variety of different stores. The products are “natural, less processed, and less artificially added,” according to its website.
Canada will be the chain’s first overseas destination, and along with its entrance will come its distribution within other Canadian grocery chains.
Sungiven Canada will open in November and will be located in Vancouver’s City Square shopping centre.
The location will stand be around 14,000-square-feet. And with Sungiven’s owners based in Vancouver, having immigrated to the city in 2004, the city will see a total of three locations.
Pending the success of the stores, Sungiven plans to expand into other Canadian cities.
However, Sungiven Canada hasn’t stated which cities are next. Stay tuned for more updates on the chain’s Canadian expansion.

Through a partnership with Nordstrom, you can touch, feel, and try on a curated selection of Everlane products in-store.
From now until November 17, you can visit the Nordstrom pop-in stores in Toronto and Vancouver. The Everlane Canada pop-up features the ever-popular Everlane cashmere sweater, recycled down-filled outerwear, the world’s cleanest denim, and carbon-neutral shoes for men and women.
You can find the the Everlane x Nordstrom Pop-In stores in Toronto at CF Toronto Eaton Centre and Vancouver at CF Pacific Centre.
While the partnership brought the ethical brand across the border in the past, this current edition of the Everlane Canada pop-up won’t last forever! You can find it on the ground floor of Nordstrom, as well as in the women’s section.

It seems Vancouver residents aren’t dropping dollars on retail spending compared to other major Canadian cities. At least, not in bricks and mortar stores they aren’t. Figures released by Statistics Canada last month reveal that retail sales in metro Vancouver slumped 0.6 per cent to $3.369 billion in May, compared with the same month in 2018.
While the figure may not sound like a huge deal, this contrasts strong retail gains in Canada’s largest cities including Vancouver
Instagram/@cfpacificcentre
Toronto saw retail sales hit $8.091 billion in May, a figure that had climbed 6 per cent from the same month a year earlier. A contributing factor here could have been the spike in tourism during the Raptors dramatic playoff run (and perhaps even the sales of Raptors gear).
Over in Montreal, however, the city experienced almost as large of an increase as Toronto did, with a 5.2 per cent hike in retail sales for May. Here, retail sales generated $5.477 billion, compared to $5.205 billion in May 2018.
The overall Canadian retail sector experienced a slight 1 per cent increase in May compared to last year; however, B.C.’s retail sales were down 0.1 per cent compared to May 2018.
Instagram/@cfpacificcentre
According to the Central 1 Credit Union, in particular, retail sales for motor vehicles and parts was down (it declined 2.6 per cent), as were sales of building material, garden equipment and related supplies. Electronics and clothing also took a hit, says the company.
The thing is, it wasn’t just the month of May that saw disappointing retail figures.
Compared to last year, Toronto’s retail sales were up 5.2 per cent to $39,586,715 in the first five months of 2019. In Montreal, these figures were even higher, with retail sales up 7.2 per cent to $26,906,435. On the other hand, Vancouver saw $16,727,930 in sales in the first five months of the year – a figure that was almost 1 per cent less than the same period a year ago.
So, why is this the case?
Instagram/@cfpacificcentre
While it’s no secret that Toronto has some of the highest rent prices in the country, Vancouver is also obviously known for its sky-high real estate costs and has seen better days with the MLS Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties hitting $998,700 – a figure that is down 9.6 per cent compared to June 2018.
A decrease in housing sales means fewer people spending on building-related items for renovations, furniture and landscaping items (i.e. fewer trips to places like Home Depot).
“The sharp decline in housing sales volume has been a driving factor of spending declines in related sectors, while lower prices may also be leading to spending belts being tightened,” reads a report from Central 1 Credit Union.
Additionally, it’s reasonable to question whether record-high gas prices could have played a role in the decline in auto sales.
Instagram/@mindjellocreative
Interestingly, B.C.’s lull in consumer demand comes at a time when the province is actually experiencing strong labour market conditions and employment growth.
It should be noted that the retail figures don’t capture the rapidly growing online market, which is increasingly blamed for the shuttering of bricks and mortar stores throughout North America.
With so many of B.C.’s residents taking full advantage of the province’s stunning geography by leading active lives, it isn’t entirely unreasonable to assume that shoppers would rather spend their days hiking or on the water than shopping in bricks and mortar shops.

While it’s too early to tell if the West Coast city’s retail slump will stick around, the retail industry is an influential driver on the provincial economy and was worth almost $86 billion in 2018.
So, the decline – while seemingly meager – is a worthy of attention.

A trip into the states always warrants a stop at the most popular fast food joints that aren’t available in Canada. And at the top of that priority list is usually the classic American burger joint, In-N-Out.
Luckily for those based in Vancouver, a trip across the border isn’t required to get your In-N-Out burger fix this year.
This September, an In-N-Out burger truck will be serving its famous burgers in Metro Vancouver.
In-N-Out will be serving up burgers at the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, a big charity event for retro car fans, on Saturday, September 7, 2019. In past years, burgers and bagged chips were the only items on the menu, so unfortunately, it’s not likely you’ll be able to get the beloved animal fries.
The one-day event starts bright and early at 8 a.m.
If you’re the type to get hangry, you’ll want to set up your alarms to beat the swarms of Canadian In-N-Out fans. Those looking to chow down on the classic burger should come early to avoid crowds, or prepare to wait in hour-long lineups.
But if you do have to wait in line, you can rest easy knowing that it was for a good cause! All proceeds from the In-N-Out burger truck will go to the Cruise-In charities. Plus, the Langley Good Times Cruise In is completely free to attend and on top of plenty of cool vintage cars, there’ll be live entertainment as well. It’s a win-win-win situation!
