Rogers has announced it plans to launch its new retail experience in downtown Toronto, known as Rogers 302, at 302 Yonge Street and Dundas, located at Canada’s busiest intersection.

According to the company, Rogers 302 will be the latest flagship retail experience in a 9,000 square foot space, unlike the other 2,500+ traditional Rogers retail stores across Canada.

Plans of the new Rogers flagship store were first announced back in April of this year; the location’s historic building was formerly occupied by clothing retailer Forever 21.

The grand opening of Rogers 302 is set for Thursday, December 12 at 8am, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Rogers is also offering “exclusive” gift packages worth $200 to the first 100 people on its opening day, while other giveaways include Toronto Maple Leaf tickets, smartphones, and sports memorabilia. NHL alumni and other guests will also be on hand for meet and greets throughout the weekend, until Sunday, December 15.
