I can't speak to any of the others, but from what I know of talking to the folks
at Bricks & Blocks in St. Jacob's, they are an independent retailer. They
aren't a franchise or official company store in any way so far as I know.
Having said that, I still think they are a natural location to get a
Pick-a-Brick, since they already have an established reputation and customer
base. They have the permanent Egyptian exhibit, clearance products when
available, and most of the current line of regular products. I think a
Pick-a-Brick wall would work perfectly there, irrespective of an official store
opening in any other part of the country. The only question would be.... is it
possible for a non-company branded store to get this feature?
Just my thoughts.
