The two-storey Robson store space once home to American fashion retailer Forever 21 has already secured its new tenant – Canadian bookstore Indigo
 
News broke in January that Forever 21 would be closing up shop at its 1033 Robson St. location. Today, Indigo Books and & Music Inc. announced it will be opening a 29,000-square-foot flagship store at the space, scheduled to open this fall. 
 
The news comes three years after Indigo shut down its three-storey Chapters location at Robson and Howe. Sports Chek now occupies that space. 
 
“When we made the decision to leave our well-loved Robson Street Chapters store, we promised our customers that as soon as we could, we would be back. We are so very excited to reconnect with this community who are among the best and most passionate readers in the country,” Heather Reisman, Indigo CEO, said in a release.
 
The new flagship store will also feature an in-house café and community space for special events.
 
Indigo currently operates a small Indigospirt store in downtown Vancouver at Robson and Granville.
