Loblaws

Well, you'd think the management of the store would be yelling at someone on the phone to get someone out to do it so that they don't look so cheap to everyone passing by. (I meant to say Broadview/Danforth, but I'm sure it's still a landlord technically responsible.)

Coincidentally I was at the Broadview/Danforth NF locations yesterday too. They did the absolute bare minimum in terms of sidewalk clearance in order for plebs like me to get some provisions.

Loblaw to open 80 stores in 2025 as part of $10-billion investment over five years​

Loblaw to open 80 stores in 2025 as part of $10-billion investment over five years

Loblaw says it's planning to open 80 new grocery and pharmacy stores this year, about 50 of which will be discount grocers.

Let throw some interesting colour on this........

1) The majority of the new hard discount stores (No Frills) will the mini stores.

2) Loblaws new giant frozen foods distribution centre begins operation imminently. That's up in East Gwillimbury

3) The new T &T in the Seattle area.......... is the highest performing store in the entire Loblaws portfolio! T & T also has the highest sales growth of any banner.

I wish they opened a T&T close to the old Cherry Beach area, or anywhere around East Waterfront. I know, probably never with the Loblaws at Jarvis, but I miss the easy access the Cherry Beach store provided me.

This store is right next to the subway. It's accessible for a whole lot more people than the Cherry Beach one ever was. You couldn't get there without a car.

If the crowds hold at Yonge/Dundas, there will be another T&T somewhere near downtown, and the south end (waterfront) is one of the more likely choices.

I don't see Cherry St in the near to medium term. I know they still really want North York Centre (Yonge); they'd like something in Scarborough, which would also serve Durham, after that, I don't expect too many more in the City proper. Mid-Town will get a look though......

A new product, sorta, at Loblaws Maple Leaf Gardens.

Its not terribly innovative.....its been a resto staple for years.........but you don't see them made fresh in a grocery store much:

My first thought is they had a huge surplus of parm that has not sold, so they make it into something else with a renewed shelf life.

Entirely possible, but I expect it will still sell well if its priced properly.

Loblaws, so far as I know, didn't snag any of the quota for tariff-free Parm imports.......so they're priced at the high end of that segment.
