Q67: Will it be announced in 2015 that any Chapters or Indigo locations in Ottawa will close or change ownership?
Yes: 30%
No: 70%
(A closure of a Coles location would not count for this question. There are currently 5 Chapters and 1 Indigo location in Ottawa)
Indigo, the bookseller that owns Chapters, has had some financial problems in recent years, due to competition from online booksellers and eBooks. It recently closed 3 stores in Toronto. Given that, it would not be surprising if a location were to close in Ottawa (where there are a fair number of locations, especially in the west end).
Having said that, I am aware of no solid (or even non-solid) information suggesting that a location will close. No locations in Ottawa have closed in the recent past.
