It's the latest evolution of that market. Mac's Milk/Beckers then Hasty Market then Rabba and now Longo's. I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see some Rabbas closing since Longo's is superior.

At least Rabba has sale items every week. I'd take that over pricey Longos. They didn't even have beans at the Longos on Elizabeth St when I went there a few weeks ago. Beans? Heinz canned beans! One of the most basic grocery items, they do not carry. And when I asked for them, the people working there (who barely spoke English, I might add), didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

Did they carry Spam? (Sorry. It had to be asked.)

Just an evolution of the market. None of the other grocery chains have an urban tailored store format, so Longos is alone in this segment. The other chains need to wake up

As a resident of the neighbourhood this Longo's is a welcome addition. Their FCP and Brookfield locations are not full size stores, just their "Market by Longo's" concept. This store will be nearly 50,000 sq ft, far bigger than either of those, or the Sobey's on Queen's Quay, or any Rabba.

Buh? Sobey's has their Urban Fresh brand (Yonge & Wellesley, Bloor & Bathurst), and Loblaw's have their "Market" brand (St Clair & Yonge, Manulife Centre).

The transformation has been all the more visually dramatic as lots of hoarding has come down. I was driving through the other day with my cousin, who is a downtown kind of gal, but more midtown oriented, and she very abruptly shouted out "Stop the car, where the hell are we..!!.?", in a state of disorientation plus deja vu. Truly amazing transformation.
