Looking at the aerial shots of the DSC I wonder if the Dominion supermarket was expanded at some point? I do not recall this but there is a feature on the roof that suggests it was added on to on the north and west sides.

Here's a pic of one of the old units taken in the 1970s (from the Halifax Municipal Archives) - they were pretty beat by then, you can also see evidence of oil leaks all over the pavement.
Regarding the Dominion store, it does have the appearance of being expanded, but also I noticed that the outer 'band' is a full 2 storeys whereas the rest of the store is one. So I'm thinking it was originally build like this, with the second storey section being for the offices, employee lunch room etc.
