FYE Expands Into Canada
Entertainment retailer FYE has just opened a store in the Rideau Centre in Downtown Ottawa.
They offer film and music on various formats, as well as memorabilia from film, television and music. But it should be noted that FYE’s current American web site does not yet ship to Canada.
This American retailer had been purchased from Trans World Entertainment by Sunrise Records in February 2020 for 10 million dollars according to Billboard.

Limited Shopping Reinstated
In store shopping returns in the province of Ontario, with safety measures. And it may also return in the province of Quebec by March 1st.
Contact your local stores for details. And don’t forget to socially distance, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently.
Enjoy. And stay safe.
Bonus Optimum Points
If you are expecting to make an Apple App Store/iTunes, Sony Playstation store or Google Play purchase or planning on buying a gift card for those retailers, you should note that a bonus offer is available to PC Optimum members at select Real Canadian Superstore, Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix stores.
An offer for 15,000 bonus points is available for every combined purchase of $100 of the above listed gift cards until February 3rd, 2021 and this offer appeared both on my respective flyers on my local store web sites so i’d recommend you look for this offer as well, which is a $15 value in Optimum points.
