Sobeys Front & Princess
Last fall there was some discussion in this thread about a new Sobeys being renovated at Front St. and Princess St. just east of Sherbourne. The Bulletin newspaper reported that it would be open in Sept 2006, and later I saw a posting online somewhere that mentioned April 2007.
Well, now it's the end of May, and the progress on the old warehouse building at that location seems to have stagnated. At one point crews were busily cleaning it out, carting away junk, and grading the outside surfaces. A new heavy-duty green hydro box was installed at the back. Then... nothing.
I was really excited about this location, since I live very close to it. Does anyone know if Sobey's has abandoned or delayed the plans? I know there was some corporate turmoil a while back (I think they went from a public company back to a private one) and I'm wondering if this expansion is a victim of that.
