"Guildford Mall is official"
I went to the Oakridge Mall store today to go take pictures of Lee's monthly community showcase. And ! It was phenomenal to see his Lord of the Rings rendition of the jewel incrusted Smaug.
But I digress.
I started talking to the store manager and she asked me whether I had heard about the Surrey store. I said, "umm.. no?" And she said, "It's okay, it's official."
So the new Lego Brand Retail Store will be going in at Guildford Mall with the renovations at that mall and open in the summer or fall of this year. I haven't been to Guildford Mall for a long time, but last I recall it could use updating and the addition of a Lego Brand Retail Store there will be greatly visited and appreciated.
So get ready Surrey! Lego is coming your way.
------------------------
Note: Even though they just announced the new store openings in a press release on Feb 21, 2013, I cannot find the information on Lego's website. I am going by what is being said publicly to customers at the Oakridge LEGO store.

Re: Guildford Mall is official
Sweet! Thanks for the news chump. Hopefully it'll be a bit bigger in size. Probably won't visit often though, too far from Richmond.
Re: Guildford Mall is official
Although, I've been told it's official, please don't cross post this information yet to other sites, should I for some reason need to contain it. I'm not sure why I would need to, as I don't think malls really have grand announcements of store openings, but just in case. Thanks.

Re: Guildford Mall is official
Apologies. I'll try and get my post deleted. I just wanted to share this news.
Re: Guildford Mall is official
My guess is they won't announce it until they can confirm the date. Since the mall construction is out of their control it is probably too soon to have an accurate date . I only make it to guildford a couple times a year (which is soon to increase) but the renos look really good. The Lego store will fit in nice there.
Re: Guildford Mall is official
I will be able to go there more!! Surrey is a lot more closer than van!!
Re: Guildford Mall is official
I don't think I would be worried about deleting the post.
The store employees have been talking about the gilford store on reddit for over a week already.

Re: Guildford Mall is official
Thanks. Although Reddit isn't exactly official, I was just looking for some other external confirmation, but I guess that'll do.
Are you able to post a link to the relevant info on Reddit?

Not quite official yet, everyone ... but close.
Re: Guildford Mall is official
Robin, you are correct. I was quoting what the store employees were saying, so as a disclaimer, I will put the subject in quotes to denote that it is [insert air quotes] "official".Robin wrote:Not quite official yet, everyone ... but close.
