yes, Birminghams & 4Seasons have ramped up their offsales, and White City/Emerald Park will have a Sobeys) I guess this means odds are that Metro Liquor's location will be in the east end, eh?
I did see someone surveying the Southland parking lot this week - the area where the Turbo was, I assume this is where it'll be.
Short of Willow Park relocating & getting an entirely new business strategy in place PDQ, I'd say Sobeys Liquor at Southland will be the nail in their coffin. WP always reminds me of a hospital - quiet, sterile, relatively few people. Sobey's (and Co-op in Stoon) always seem to be alive - never packed, but busy. WP also seems to be continually short stocked (
full disclosure, I'm primarily looking at their beer... so maybe wine & spirits are better than Co-op/Sobeys). WP has just never seemed fully invested... despite being the first full-line private store in Regina, which should have given them a running start. Even the opening of their current store was significantly delayed, and they were out of the market for what - 9months to a year? It's sad, really, because both WP stores in Calgary are good.
