Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

I wonder if it's going to be another Cumbrae's/Terrroni offering? Has a lot in common with:

I know, I know, it’s not downtown - this is the brand new Marche Leo’s on Dundas near Royal York. Place is pristine and beautifully merchandised - all products were turned outward with labels and neatly aligned, which I love to see. Decent selection, but prices on the higher side. The place was not busy at all, but I was there at an awkward time (7:30 pm). I can’t see myself going there often, but they do have Niederegger marzipan…
 
I frequent the Longo's at Maple Leaf Square quite a bit.

The Corks Beer & Wine Bar component has quite the niche. At first glance it looked like a sort of glorified cafeteria. Until recently, I never saw anyone order from their tables, as most people brought in food over from the Starbucks or as takeout from the Longo's hot food and pizza bar.

That is, until I was there on a Saturday night during a Leafs game where it was packed. Based on the reviews, it appears to be the go-to spot for penny pinching Leafs fans, with prices much lower than the tourist traps along Front Street or Bremner.
