Specialty retailer J. Crew will close its CF Eaton Centre store, a move that follows other Canadian closings including Fairview Mall and Markville Mall. The Yorkdale store, selling only women’s wear, remains open. Some may read meaning into the ownership of the three malls in question. They are all part of the Cadillac Fairview chain. CF is known as a fair but fairly uncompromising landlord. Two stores have closed in Alberta, one at the CF Chinook Centre and one at the Triple Five owned West Edmonton Mall. J. Crew was created in 1947 selling women’s, men’s and children’s apparel and accessories, including swimwear, outerwear, lounge-wear, wedding, bags, sweaters, denim, dresses, suiting, jewelry, and shoes.
