Nations is much cleaner than some Asian grocery stores nearby.

I often wonder why did the Super King Asian grocery store on Lawrence and Black Creek not close down. It looks quite unsanitary.

Yeah, it does, aside from the washrooms, look cleaner. The Super King isn't really, geographically, competing with Nations, Black Creek and Lawrence is a bit far from it. In addition, as for the rest of the village, is really busy since Nations opened up there.

Also, let's not forget that Nations took over a former Target. There have been many rumors that they got a low lease/rent on that space. I am not sure that if anything, they did. I notice they hire all kinds of races aside from Chinese as well.

I know it is way off topic, but I wonder how the 189 STOCKYARDS bus will affect this development...

Because it will serve the backroads by Rona and CanTire, so I wonder... But the upside is that the Stockyards plazas will now have a bus route dedicated to them.

People will still have to safari across asphalt deserts to and from the entrances.

True, but it will be intresting to see what affect the 189 will have. Maybe even that route could be extended into the village. However @W. K. Lis don't forget this route will pass by the other plazas in the area.

 

[W. K. Lis]

Maybe we'll see more developments that would replace one or more of the parking lots along the route.

I would hope so as well.

Customers coming from the corner of St. Clair & Keele have to climb a Trump fence or escarpments to get into Home Depot, for example.

Maybe a Stockyards LRT, or tram train would do ??

 

[thettctransitfanatic]

Like this :

A Stockyards LRT could circle, serviing the Home Depot, CanTire, Best Buy, Keele/St Clair and then the Stockyards Village.

I know, but I was just showing what they could do to linx the Stockyards plaza, because as @W. K. Lis said, it's like climbing a Trump wall to get to some plazas in the area.

Marshalls is coming to the village next. There are signs claiming they are "Opening Soon".
