@matsmoy: 1971 to 2026. Coles at Bramalea City Centre closed for good on September 5th. That store opened before Brampton was even amalgamated into the city it is now. 53 years in one spot. Indigo owns the brand and is sending people to its Brampton Market Hall location, so the books haven't left town, but that room is finished. This isn't a Brampton story, it's a mall story, and it's happening across the GTA. When an anchor that's been there half a century goes, what fills the space tells you where the whole mall is heading. So my question to you is, is a mall losing an anchor a warning sign or just normal turnover? Let me know in the comments. Source: insauga.com, August 2026.

The location was so odd, it was the corner of the food court and closed earlier than the mall.

The location was very odd plus the books are very expensive. Who has money to buy $30 for a single book??

I go there somewhat regularly for myself kids, gifts. It’s the only store around if you are a reader. They also have very good customer service.

No one reads traditional books and they read e-books instead. A lot of malls are losing big department stores like the Bay which has gone belly up so has Sears, Simpsons etc. Morguard Corporation, which owns Bramalea City Centre doesn’t have to worry if the mall goes belly up because they can convert the land into more condos and supermarkets so they can get money for the land use elsewhere.

I mean, they would've needed to sell the majority of their books in Punjab or Hindi for example

I remember when there was Coles AND smithbooks. Coles used to be the lesser of the two, then it was the only one left. The fact that there’s no book store at all now is sad.
