No way Loblaws is directly involved with SkyCity as the are getting out of running the retail side for anything under 100,000 sq ft. Extra Foods are all converting franchise owned No Frills.
The bad blood between Fortress and Sobeys over the Collier Center mess will likely keep those two apart.
Call it a hunch but Save On Foods is trying to establish a presence here and has talked about wanting to do it with smaller stores than typical for grocers.
In terms of the east Exchange I have said it before the local independent specialty stores is what the area needs. Start with a butcher, deli, produce and dairy. Add in select middle store items and you have something people could work with. You don't need thousands of sq ft or dry packaged goods.
