I've thought the same thing, that downtown could use a supermarket for those of us who live in the core- since the Barn closed a few years ago, there hasn't really been any sort of 'supermarket' per se, in the megastore sense.

On the other hand, there are some options- while I definitely can't do all my grocery shopping in one stop, I'm able to find just about everything I need in and around the downtown core. Whatever you can't find at the Farmer's Market, you can find at Reardon's, Denninger's, the vegetable and fish markets on James North (and Adam's on James S.). I get that some people are just looking to zip in and out of one place that has everything they need, but part of me actually prefers finding it all in a few different places. It's also better to support the locals, I definitely wouldn't want to see a Sobey's move in and shut down Reardon's, or take any business away from the Farmer's Market. Y'know?
