4 month renovation closure?

That was the "strategy" that reportedly killed Target in Canada - closing K-marts for weeks to convert them into Target stores.  Customers, supposedly creatures of habit, found somewhere else to shop.

Where I am going with this is the Mission (formerly Bibles for Missions) thrift shop in Kelowna.  It closed for  major renovation and expansion in early April.  As of today (9 August), it still has not reopened and must be a few weeks late.  It has expanded substantially and is being restocked, but still not open.  I hope they got a break on rent.  I hope customers haven't gone to look at the other 11 other thrift shops in town.
