Art Van Opening Downtown Store

Is Art Van really the type of retail that would attract a lot of foot traffic downtown? It's better than nothing but I'm more excited for the Nike store, Apple store, and a grocery store. I would think Art Van would make more sense outside of downtown, like by New Center or east on Jefferson.

Keep in mind that "Downtown" is quite a big area. To someone not intimatly familiar with the area, both New Center and Midtown could be called "the Downtown area" I also think it is a great addition. Anything that lets city residents stay in the city is a plus. Also, that is 40-50 people paying taxes and eating at the local lunch places. Wins all around if you ask me.
