Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

[Northern Light]

The new No Frills in Liberty Village, located in the former Organic Garage space has opened.

In a curious move............the hype for it includes a personally shot video of Loblaws CEO Per Bank touring the new store and talking about it.

Per Bank looks around and says, "who can afford these prices? Someone should do something !"

Rabba is opening at the Livmore at Bay and Gerrard in the former Fresh City space.

Now open!

Interesting. Good to finally see a discount grocer in LV - but they are already testing their mini-market format a few minutes away at King and Shaw..

Whatever happened to "The Box"? aka a smaller No Frills store? I kinda like the idea of Loblaws separating the usual No Frills stores from their smaller stores. https://canadiangrocer.com/loblaw-thinks-outside-box-new-banner

That's fairly close to what you're getting w/the small NF now...........but LBL chose to ditch that branding (the Box), they shuttered one and converted the others to regular NF.

That said, they're being a bit curious w/these........they really ought to brand them 'Select Frills' LOL For instance at King/Shaw they're retaining the Rotisserie Chicken even as its now NF.

Probably the new location for Rocco's that's on Front St E

Pusateri’s Little Italy location apparently no longer opening, and the Bayview village store unexpectedly closed this week

Good scoop!

From the above:

In case anyone had missed it, Asian supermarket chain Bestco is apparently going to open a store at Peter & Adelaide according to Retail Insider.

I don't believe I've mentioned this.........apologies if I have.............but Oceans, the suburban supermarket chain will be opening a downtown outpost.

Making waves are we?

@1Ć0 broke the scoop first in the building thread on Monday.

And the retail space looks to be leased finally. To be a No Frills.

I assume this is to replace the one at King/Princess? Or is this in addition to...?

Thanks! Just wanted to add that there will be a restaurant and patio here.

DID I NOT CALL THIS RIGHT FROM THE START????

It was always an idiotic location choice for an unaffordable grocer.

 

[longfortheoldview]

Should it be assumed that the No Frills at Front & Princess will be closing soon then?
