Toronto non-mall retail (Odds & Ends)

[PinkLucy]

Speaking of the above....

The Coxwell store has not yet reopened, nor have permits even been issued for renovation/reconstruction.

According to local community sources....

Loblaws has been acquiring the storefronts to its south along this stretch.

To what ultimate purpose is not yet clear (merely a larger store, or a different redevelopment scheme altogether)

Just saw this posted on a Facebook group (I have no idea what "storming" means!)

NoFrills at coxwell,has started reconstruction, first phase said to be 2-3 months, then new equpment, storming store

Probably an autocorrect failure on the word 'stocking'.

No, I'm pretty sure they meant storming. This is a popular grocery store in the area, with some really good prices.

Did anybody notice that Boxing Day crowds seemed to be almost non-existent This year?

It's sad to see unique stores with character close down in this city and yet, so many corporate chains opening up.

I like corporate chains, so I'm happy with that part. As for this store, it isn't being lost due to a corporate retail chain, so I don't see a connection.

There is signage on the front and back of the old No Frills store on Coxwell saying "Construction Starting Soon" and there's also a rendering but its hard to tell if its the same size or an expanded store.
