    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Eddie Bauer is opening its newest storefront on Robson Street this spring.

      The U.S.-based retailer, known for its modern outdoors wear for men and women, will occupy the space at 1150 Robson Street, which previously housed French Connection.

      The store will be Eddie Bauer’s first street-front location in Vancouver and only the second in Canada.

      “It’s going to be a nice complement to some of the other retailers on the 1100 block, particularly New Balance, Footlocker, and the Nike that’s opening,” says Teri Smith, executive director of the Robson Street Business Association, by phone.

      Smith tells the Straight that Nike is expected to open its doors at the former Mexx space this May.

      A few doors down, Aritzia will also open its newly expanded flagship store before summer.

      “It’s going to be quite the spring on the 1100 block,” says Smith.

      Eddie Bauer currently operates approximately 370 stores across the U.S. and Canada, including three mall locations and an outlet shop in the Lower Mainland.
