Vancouver will be getting another retail giant in the downtown core.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Simons, the Quebec-based department store, will expand into the massive space at Pacific Centre<\/a>, left empty by Nordstrom.<\/p>\n

The company says this will mark the brand\u2019s 20th store in Canada and the second in B.C.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project represents an investment of more than $55 million and will contribute to the local economy, including the creation of approximately 150 new jobs,\u201d Simons said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this addition, Simons will employ more than 4,000 people across Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

This announcement comes after Aritzia announced its own plans to take up 40,000 square feet of space in the vacant department store.<\/p>\n

Simons and Aritzia\u2019s storefront plans represent just over half of the retail space in the building.<\/p>\n
