It is hard enough to get out of that Home Depot parking lot and merge into traffic going either way.....now put another building in the way!

That has to be a record. Store has already gotten back to me indicating that while there isn't an exact date they are aiming for the beginning of December.  
 
Yes it'll be interesting to see what access to the store is like. As a parent that needs another option for kids stuff I'll make it work

Hate to say it but im guessing Shindico has never been to the corral Center on a Saturday afternoon or anytime near Christmas and seen how busy the parking lot can get. But I guess they`ll make it work somehow.

About time Brandon got a decent clothing store for babies and kids!! I find selection at wal mart and superstore minimal and some stuff of the "George" brand at wal mart quality is very poor! Children's place is alright but again, not much selection for 0-12 months (for boys anyway)

If they were even considering shoppers mall for their location. That is a big loss for the mall.  
 
Moguard should've spent more time trying to get Carters to be in the shoppers mall.  
 
Oh well.. at the end of the day Brandon gets an excellent store!!!!!!!

What sizes would this store go up to?

Carters another kids store....would of been nice to see them in the mall but then again these malls also charge allot of money to rent their space.....

From what I can remember, the sizes fit small. Always needed to buy the size bigger than you think. But nice stuff and good to have another option in town.

Don't worry about it. So what if it takes a few minutes longer to get in and out. Just be glad Brandon is getting a store like this. If we want a big city we will have to deal with big city issues.

Interested in knowing as well - love their stuff as it's good quality and decent prices especially when they have sales.

As a worker at Home Depot, it bothers me that suddenly more of our parking lot is now taken up and made even more difficult to both come into and to leave. Sometimes I make my way over to Safeway just so it's easier for me to merge.  
 
And.. I hate to say it, but this stores gonna be expensive.

Why do you think this store will be expensive? Have you ever shopped there? The OshKosh clothes are more than the Carter''s brand clothes there, but neither are expensive.

I'm not sure if you'be ever been in one of these Carters/ Osh Kosh stores, but they are actually not expensive. They are very reasonably priced, have great quality, and have wonderful sales. So I'm not sure where your getting info that would be opposite of the norm of these stores.  
As for Home Depot, I have no problem getting in and out of that parking lot. It's a huge parking lot, so I'm sure everyone will adjust. That space usually seemed empty to me anyway. Home depot still has a huge amount of space for parking left.  
As for opening date, Im not sure. But I'm excited for it, hopefully in te for Christmas, if not shortly after.

Well, I'm excited! I love going to WPG and hitting up the stores.. they sometimes have great sales as well, and usually the clearance they have some great stuff.. i always buy sizes for months down the road.. that way i dont have to hit up wpg as often.  
 
The quality is great, the clothes are pretty cute and some different trendy looks. Brandon NEEDS baby stores. The only place I really shop at is winners, since I'm not a huge fan on the childrens place in the mall (They're expensive)  
 
Carters/osh isn't that bad for price. They have some expensive stuff..but usually Lots of sales

but if you are on the HD, liquor store side, and trying to turn left to get out...really bad. It's a poor design, and not wheelchair/pedestrian friendly. How is it that you run out of sidewalk and have to walk on the road? that is a key design flaw. The entrance off Kirkcaldy heading west needs to be widened to accommodate traffic flow, it jams up if 3 vehicles are waiting at the red, there is no room to access the right turn lane. Just my observations.

I am excited to have more options for kids clothes in Brandon but I agree that the parking lot is terrible. It's was poorly designed with no forethought about people actually getting in and out - - whether on foot or by car. I will try to visit Carter's on weekday mornings to avoid the parking lot mayhem.

Shindico and all of their terrible zoning and terrible layouts. It takes a lot for me to say I hate something, but every Shindico design in Manitoba is clearly not made with traffic flow and ease of accessibility in mind. It's great that Brandon is getting this store, but overall thia looks like a terrible idea.

i dont shop at the store and it it seeming to be an odd facing compared to the rest of the corral center imo but i do see a real issue with the parking and getting out onto the main drag, HD needs a larger parking lot because of the large vehicles and trailers that shop at the store, now you cant park at the end and walk in, its also a nightmare to get out of already, the place was a poor design already, adding stores just makes it worse but the owners just want rents so it is what it is now

Double checked with Carters Osh Kosh and planned opening is still the start of December.

Osh kosh in the States is reasonable. Has anyone shopped in a Canadian one ? ? Are they reasonable or like every other American / Canadian store ? ( a lot more expensive ).  
I'm hoping for inexpensive. ..

Oshkosh products tend to be a bit steeper than Carter's. I'm not sure how Canadian prices compare to US prices, but I bet it's pretty comparable once you factor in the exchange rate.  
 
You can check out prices on their website - - that's how I typically shop for Carter's and Oshkosh stuff: http://www.cartersoshkosh.ca/

Now moms won't have to walk so far to get their lumber after they're done shopping for their kids clothing.

or their much needed caffeine fix across the street

Touché

Sent an email this morning asking when they were going to open, and they replied quickly, with a projected date of December 7th! Can't wait!

putting it in the location they have chosen. It''s busy and crowded enough getting into Home Depot, now you have to go around it and it's gonna be even more crowded once it's done.  
 
Makes more sense to put it in the lot near Ashley Furniture, where it's mostly empty, and besides it closer/next to similar outlets that ppl would rather have close to eachother to park and multiple shop than to be next to home depot and the liquor mart lol
