I am not surprised by this at all. While the ground level commercial/retail at the Junction Village is of very high quality, it is more suited to commercial office space, services, destination retail, or traditional sit down restaurants than it is for high volume low margin food retailers (QSR) like
Freshii. I'm surprised that
Yuzu Sushi reopened there.
The only type of food option I can see working there is a conventional coffee shop (catering to residents), or, a destination restaurant. It is just too far removed from the core of the downtown to generate any spontaneous walk-in traffic.
I am gratified that the Junction Village is as successful as it is in leasing their commercial/retail space. I wish them well. I just think there are certain market sectors which would not thrive there.
