Can't wait to see how this all ends.

Looks like they better do a redesign soon. I'm guessing Metro just might be gone.

I totally agree and the Church location will have an excellent offering. Anyone interested just go to the store in Liberty Village to see the new HMR offering. One thing I know for sure is that Metro is the most fiscally operated chain in the business. They count every penny and if no return...

Well for now Metro will either pull out and pay the penalty which they likely will do or lease the space. They had The Air Canada centre store and gave that to Longo's. A store in Woodbridge they excited and leased it to a competitor. Let's see. Should have a decision soon.

Talk is the location like you said not being off Yonge St and word is Whole Foods is having some challenges. The Metro up the street on Church is now starting a full Reno to the Company's new format and that's a major investment so maybe also playing a part. Stay tuned for now.

It now appears Adonis is backing away from this location. They do not like the location of the store and have concerns with the construction. Stay tuned but Metro is now reviewing. Possible they could introduce their new format ( see the store in Liberty Village ) there or pay the fee and...

Yes Sobeys. I'm told it's a very small Urban store about the size of the one at Yonge and Davisville. They really struggle in Ontario and will have a minimal impact. Adonis also has an Urban format that has proved very successful in downtown Montreal and you can expect the same in this location...

Originally Metro was looking at an Oct opening but they never started. I guess that was when they were deciding to change direction with a Longos and Sobeys expected just too many conventional grocers. Adonis will really be amazing but the new Metros are the best stores out there and people...

Looks like Metro had the same thought. Adonis will now be occupying the space. The reason for the delay. They are owned by Metro but run separately. Similar to Loblaw and T&T. I think it will be an amazing fit for the location and should be a big hit with the neighbourhood.

Metro Not sure but I'm on the construction team. We have been slotted to start construction in June 2014. My Boss says a very high end design.

Metro The Metro is due to open in November. Construction begins in June. Seems quick.

Two Supermarkets is perfect. Whole Foods would be a good fit with its unique offering. The other store will depend more on its execution of service, variety, pricing etc. All 3 players are capable of performing it but executing it is another story. Metro seems the most capable with them now...

Lol. I don't work for them or anyone else in the business. Simply an investor and they have fantastic return compared to Loblaw. I really respect the Management and did much research before making a commitment. I guess you might say I put my money where my mouth is. They have only been in...

Right on schedule. The restructuring I spoke of. Only 1 or 2 stores to close. 6 to Food Basics and the others converted to a lower wage contract as permitted by current labour agreements. They also announced an increase in Ontario Cap spending. The Eglinton/Lloyd Manor store is where they will...

Now lets keep in mind Metro holds the #1 share in Quebec and #2 in Ontario. The consistently show stable profit growth and sales growth. They are known to have the most well equipped Management in the business and are the most likely to succeed in this highly competitive market. Their new...

http://www.montrealgazette.com/business/Adonis+opens+urban+format+downtown+store/8756612/story.html The Ontario expansion will begin in a year but will be Metros. Not Adonis. 4 are now slated to open.

Great comments. Thanks! I was involved with Whole Foods and completely understand their stores. T&T of course is completely different and your comments for the most part are spot on!! So what the hell am I talking about? Metro Quebec is run much better than Ontario. The Companies MGMT here...

LOL. That's what I've heard people say about Loblaw. I guess with so many employees and stores they all have those staffing issues unlike a smaller chain like Longo's etc. Bottom line is they are recognized as the best operator of the lot and should execute the new store flawlessly . In the big...

Well it is the highest sales. Anywhere they open they are incredibly successful and a big step up from even Loblaw MLG . Product selection and service are a top priority. Now it won't be an Adonis here but a new Metro format incorporating the best practices of the two. Metro MGMT is the highest...

Go to the Adonis in Mississauga. Those stores are the highest sales per square foot in Canada and owned by Metro. That is Metros future format for the most part. T&T/Loblaw are not in that class. The Metro will be very well received.
