so did they finish the north-facing sign? anybody get pics?
i agree... a Whole Foods would be awesome in the basement level of TLS instead of yetanotherShoppersDrugMart. I'm thinking Whole Foods a la Union Square in NYC... i loved their super-efficient check out lines...
Sometimes I wish the Dominion at College Park would rearrange their checkouts similar to the style of the aforementioned Whole Foods. Everyone goes into the same line, and you proceed to the first available checkout. It's hell going there during rush hour to pick up a couple things and you end up waiting at least 15 minutes in the lineup and pray that the one next to you won't move faster and the people in front of you aren't dumbasses who will complain about a 5 cent discrepancy on the price of their apple.
There's a 24hr Dominion about 600 metres away at Church & Gould.
Edit: beaten by SeanTrans.
I don't like the mini-Sobey's at Queen's Quay Terminal. I really don't think Whole Foods / Fresh & Wild pricing can be justified at a place like Sobey's, and I really hope the one under Montage/Neo will have 905 prices. If they moved to Yonge & Dundas I'm sure they'd have to lower their prices to compete with the two nearby Dominions. Bring on the grocery wars! I'm still upset that Marks & Spencer withdrew from Canada.
There is going to have to be a price war in the grocery stores south of Front. There will be Sobeys at Fort York Blvd and Spadina, Loblaws at Maple Leaf Square, Loblaws Queens Quay Market at Jarvis, Sobeys in the Queens Quay Terminal, Rabba on Queens Quay, Rabba on Front and Blue Jays Way... So many grocery stores along the waterfront.
Totally off topic, but does anyone know when the loblaws at Maple Leaf Square is going to open. I am sick and tired of the crap they sell at dominion, I always have found loblaws slightly better.
I know an insider at Loblaws. Don't hold your breath as it will not be opening soon (if ever). Apparently they cannot engineer what they want to do with the building.
Wait a minute... I'm all confused here. Maple Leaf Square, or Maple Leaf Gardens? I know there's a knew grocery store at Maple Leaf Square (the condos by the ACC), but I thought it was Longo's instead of Loblaws.
Sorry, yes...I was taking about the Gardens.
Now this is taking this thread further OT but I couldn't resist: a grow-op in the Leaf Garden's? Would that be an appropriate market?
i'd buy in, that's for sure.
And the Loblaws at Lakeshore and Bathurst.
From TheStar.com regarding this weekend's road closures:
"Yonge St. will be closed southbound and reduced to one lane northbound between Dundas and Edward sts. from Saturday at 7:30 a.m. until 7:30 Sunday night for a crane hoist."
I'm assuming this is to put up the rest of that backlit sign facing north. But that's a long time there.. maybe they'll be doing more? And did they typically close the southbound lanes and keep one lane northbound open? I thought it was the other way around.
