Went to Y/E centre and on the flashy screen they mentioned an opening date for Loblaws and I think it said Oct 21st!

Woot woot!

Hard to tell from the outside, but it doesn't seem very big. Definitely smaller than Maple Leaf Gardens and Empress Walk.

Loblaws is open today!

 

[WillTo]

Not a bad size store. Not anywhere as big as Maple Leaf Gardens but it was bigger than I expected from looking at the outside.

There's a flower shop, PCF Pavillion downstairs, lottery kiosk, bakery, and a ready to eat section. There is one big table and a bunch of bar stools but even on opening day it was pretty much full.

Thrilled they are now in the neighbourhood.

They are needed in the neighbourhood considering how many people are set to move in to all these condos.

When will people begin moving into the condo units of this building?

 

[WillTo]

There was a mini "cheese wall" too!

Wandered into the parking garage today. Free 30 minute parking for customers. Seems like P1 and P2 will be for retail.

Edit: OK you can't actually read the sign in that photo, but basically it said to input your license plate number and it would spit out a ticket and there are codes you use for Loblaws, LCBO, or Orange Therapy that get you 30 minutes free.

As average as these towers are, it's great to see the grocery store opened. This is going to add a lot of needed vitality and energy to this part of Eglinton.

Thanks for the pics.

Got a free baguette and 10000 PC Points ($10) for official opening.

Other than that they just had more elaborate samples.

Last week I saw a worker with an O and a C around his arms before mounting

The wine, beers, spirits signage has gone up but is very difficult read.

Don't ask me why I'm stalking the LCBO Opening Soon section,.... long story,.... sad story,... EmeraldPark's LCBO have "Opening Soon" signage for 2 years already! - store ready since Spring 2015 but no booze or staff,... Oh, I really need a drink!

This LCBO is listed as "relo" , which I am going to assume means "relocation". Are they moving the store in the Yonge-Eglinton Centre to Madison?
