Because those 3 Ontario stores carry special S@H packs and sets,
discontinued items, have displays, and have only a huge honkin' LEGO
logo out front, I had always assumed they were at least an officially
recognized exclusive brand store. I guess not. In any case, it seems
that their selection is the same as a LEGO Brand store combined with
a LEGO Outlet (thanx Brian). So in terms of shopping selection there's
not much (any?) difference between what Ontario has now and these other
"official" stores opening elsewhere.
