They announced that sometime last year. Have they started site work yet?

They must be really outgrowing the existing location if they are building a new spot off the main drag... |
I also heard that vw will keep the current location on Kenmount as an exclusive Audi dealer as that brand has become more popular in recent years.

Canopy growth will open 3 retail stores in St. John's:

Nice find! Pretty much what I expected...basically a mini box-centre type retail area.
If I had to take a stab at what building is what I'd say: - 5 is Shoppers - 3 is convenience/gas store - 2 and 4 are fast food restuarants - 6 is Swiss Chalet or bank? - 1 no idea - 7 no idea either |
A little bit more info is surfacing on that former Dominion space on Churchill Square that Sheilagh O’Leary has mentioned previously.

Redeveloping that site into "just a Shoppers" is a little shortsighted. Ideally it would be nice to see the area from Scotiabank to Quintanas levelled (sorry Ben's...might have heritage implications...ha..ha) and replaced with commercial topped with three or four stories of residential. Hmmm...why not reasonably priced rental units for MUN students.
|
Last we heard they were going to demolish the building all the way down to the Scotiabank and rebuild.
A key question was if this new Shoppers was to replace the Shoppers in the Square and the ( as yet still not started ) Shoppers at Empire/Freshwater. |
Apparently a North Atlantic gas station and Dairy Queen are going on this site

Dairy Queen and North Atlantic must really be in expansion mode.

I think in the early days in St John’s, during the late 60’s or early 70’s when the first DQ opened on Topsail road and in the Avalon Mall in 1967 which was mostly just dairy products then, but today I think everyone knows it’s all about the Grill and Chill. I like their burgers more than McDonald’s.

Pet Valu is opening next to Party City on Hebron Way in the new extension to that building. Party City itself is also expanding into the new addition as well.
Whink is moving to Churchill Square and out of downtown. Pretty soon downtown will be mostly pot shops. |
I’m not sure if this is the right place for this (not sure where the right place would be) but GoodLife Torbay Road club is moving to the Torbay Road Mall. The signs say October 2018 expected to open. It’ll be nice to move it out of the current location - not a fan of that spot right now. Plus this will be a brand new spot with lots more room and lots of parking that’s really only going to be shared by Shoppers. Looking forward to it.

Looks like there's a demolition in progress for 323 Kenmount ( Christmas / Halloween warehouse ) at the intersection of Kenmount / Kelsey. I don't remember seeing any plans for that site.
