Yorkdale launches innovative CONCEPT space to showcase local brands in pop-up style program
You’ve been shopping for hours, and that means you’re hungry.
Although it’s handy, the foodcourt isn’t calling your name because you’ve been there a million times. You want something different.
And, starting April 5, you can get just that.
Yorkdale Shopping Centre is launching the retail space CONCEPT, and its first group of retailers will focus on the best of Toronto’s food scene. This means you can enjoy food at Yorkdale from vendors you can normally only get downtown.
CONCEPT is opening up near the TTC entrance, across from NYX, at 10 am on Wednesday, April 5. And to celebrate, the first 100 customers in line at will receive one free food item from one of the food vendors at CONCEPT Yorkdale.
So if you needed an excuse to go shopping, you’ve just found an amazing one.
This food heaven showcase will be the first of many at Yorkdale Shopping Centre‘s CONCEPT space as different retailers will be frequently popping up.
Yorkdale Shopping Centre is Canada’s most successful shopping centre and it’s allowing innovative brands to gain an anchor retail position at CONCEPT so they can earn brand exposure. This allows huge exposure to consumers without the long term commitment normally required.
CONCEPT is set to feature the most exclusive shopping experiences. And you can expect to see the best in taste, style, and technology, on display here all April long.
