I'm told Loblaw's had been looking at expanding their urban presence but the idea has been shelved. The new CEO's focus is very much on growing the discount/ NO Frills side of the business.

The article states, “ a third level of underground parking is being added.” An above ground floor being used for parking would seem like a huge waste.
Gotta hope for the sake of the people who will be living here, and everyone else already living around that area, that the grocery store remains part of the plan. Even without a loading dock, a decent, corner grocer type store is possible.
Brunswick Square still seems like the logical location for a full scale grocery store.
