A No Frills in Toronto’s east end will close on April 20 to make room for the forthcoming Gerrard Station on Metrolinx’s Ontario Line, according to BlogTO.

News of the closure first impacted store owners and customers at the Carlaw and Gerrard No Frills in 2022, and now it has been confirmed. All store employees will reportedly be relocated to nearby Loblaw-owned establishments, ensuring a smooth transition for the dedicated staff.

Loblaw also revealed plans to rebrand the Broadview and Danforth Loblaw’s location into a new No Frills to address the loss of the area’s discount grocery chain.

A transit-orientated community is expected to take root after demolishing the No Frills building.

Aren't they planning on nuking that place for development as well?

Eventually, maybe. It's Choice, so any 'plans' are generally just long-term, value-increase, 'imagineering' exercises.

This popular Riverdale No Frills is closing. It’s the next step in how the Ontario Line is reshaping this neighbourhood

The entire plaza will be replaced to make way for Metrolinx’s construction of the Gerrard Station.

Does anyone know when construction on this will start? Or demolition of the plaza?

I'm not sure about the plaza demolition, but for the start of bridge/corridors works should be soon. They've been making their way North from the Eastern Bridge. Queen Street saw girder installation at the end of September, Dundas is being installed over two weekends later this month (just announced for the 15th and 29th), then there's the Logan Bridge and finally Gerrard will likely be last. I would guess Gerrard would be in the new year for girder installation but a lot of work needs to happen before that.

I keep an eye on all their construction notice announcements and will be sure to drop anything related to Gerrard station here.

Looks like demolition of the plaza will be starting by the end January.

Also, over the next two weeks they will be installing noise barriers and building a retaining wall from the Logan bridge north/west towards the Gerrard bridge, so work should be hitting the Gerrard bridge sometime after that.
