Vancouver is getting another Aritzia location and replacing this beloved retail store
Attention, Aritzia lovers! There’s a new location for the clothing store in Vancouver, according to one eagle-eyed local.
Signs are going up at the site of the old Urban Outfitters location on West 4th Avenue and Yew Street, and it’s pretty clear what is going to be moving into that space: Aritzia.

Urban Outfitters announced it would be closing in January after 12 years at that location. A sign posted to the door urged customers to visit them at their Granville location instead.

Aritzia already has 18 locations in BC, including its TNA stores offering the brand’s exclusive items. However, this will be the first Aritzia in the Kitsilano neighbourhood.
The site itself is definitely eye-catching and is one of the area’s oldest buildings. The neoclassical structure originally housed the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce when it was completed in 1912, according to the Vancouver Heritage Foundation.
