I guess it would be called protecting their market. Same thing happened with the Coronet Cinemas (and possibly the Cornwall Cinemas as well). Their owner had a stipulation that the space could not be used for any future motion picture theatre purposes. It really sucks. I liked the Superstore on Albert. Without a car, I now have to shop at $afeway on 13th Avenue.
