New farm boy location on one of the Canadian Tire parking lots along Lake Shore East. They filed for site plan a few years ago with this as a sportchek, but has since changed.

how many walk in customers to you exactly expect in the middle of an industrial park and on a 6 lane arterial?
I am very happy by this news. A Farm Boy in my end of town!
The proposed building sucks, however. How much do you want to bet that Lake Shore entrance is always locked and the street-facing windows are covered in window film. And the City will do d*ck all to address those issues during the site plan approval process.
I think it is an emergency exit.

No different to the Shoppers then
Well, I wish it were more conveniently located for me -- and I have wheels. I'd be all over it if it were. From my POV, the only people who would get much out of it are drivers who pass it en route, especially at dinner time from downtown. I suspect that many Leslieville types, especially the condo folks, don't have cars. One nice thing about Canadian Tire that works for non-drivers is that you can walk your dog, killing two birds with one stone, and bring it into the store. I can't see that happening here and I'b be concerned leaving my dog tied up and unattended in the middle of a parking lot where a fast getaway by a thief is possible.
