New stores at The District

More businesses have been announced for The District on Bernard as construction chugs along at the old Towne Centre Mall location in downtown Kelowna.

The mall was purchased by MKK Property Corp. for $8.55 million in February 2017. Only a handful of stores continue to operate in the two-storey building, but construction is well underway in the vacant shops.

In early June, new tenant Fossellos opened its doors along Bernard Avenue, and in May Optimiiize Kelowna opened for business. Original tenants Amni Apparel, MacDermott’s Menswear, and Annegret’s Chocolates continue to operate during construction.

Shoppers will soon be able to enjoy drinks, art and books as Pulp Fiction Coffee House moves into a new space by the end of summer.

Cosmetic Culture will be moving in by early 2020. They will offer services from IV vitamin therapy to infrared sauna sessions, cryotherapy, and the latest in aesthetic medicine.

Cubanos Fine Cigars and Coffee will be opening sometime this fall. The specialty store will feature cigars from around the globe, including Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Europe, and the Philippines. They will also specialize in aged cigars from Cuba. The store will not only be inviting for cigar connoisseurs, but also for those looking to enjoy a cup of coffee and purchase textiles.

Also opening soon will be 1000 Palms, a resort and swimsuit boutique set to open this fall.
