This whole area of town (CBD West end) needs a grocery store. Part of the fun of living DT is being able to walk to get your groceries and it's a good hike for the thousands that live in this area around Slater, Bronson, and now Lebreton.

As far as retail goes, it's the only type of retail that everyone (I think) needs and uses on a regular basis. Look at some of the best central neighbourhoods in TO and the streets are always bustling with people walking home with their groceries in hand, makes life a lot simpler (no need for car, cab, bus...). Here's a nice example of a ground-level supermarket in a condo in Manhattan:
