^good to hear and it sounds as though the applicant has listened! Go figure.

As for the old husky site on gateway.... looks as though it is going to be called 'Gateway'.

@EE - No, that sign is old and from the previous application that was defeated at Council.

Are you thinking of these (which I think is where 11703 would be for):

Or the brick warehouses just west of there?

Coldrsx · #**6478** Posted **Jul 2, 2009, 8:08 PM**

T & T Supermarket opens second Edmonton store

EDMONTON — T & T Supermarket Inc. opened the doors to its second Edmonton store Thursday.

A long line of shoppers patiently waited for the opening ceremony — speeches by company officials and politicians and traditional Chinese lion and Filipino pole dances — to end, before quickly filling the 45,000-square foot store in North Town Centre when the doors finally opened.

Cindy Lee, the Richmond, B.C.-based chain’s CEO, said Edmonton’s first store in West Edmonton Mall proved so popular with both ethnic Asian shoppers and non-Asians, it opened a north-side store.

“I remember when I opened our first Edmonton store, my friend warned me that it would be too difficult for T & T to become successful in this city.

“There was too few Asians and also non-Asian families would never come to shop at T & T because the food is quite different. Today, I’m happy to say my friend is wrong.”

T & T, which opened its first store in Vancouver in 1993 named after Lee’s daughters Tina and Tiffany, sells Asian food staples, hot deli meals, produce and seafood.

The opening marks a big day for the redevelopment of North Town Centre at 97th Street and 137th Avenue, said Bill Kennedy, chief operating officer for landlord Anthem Properties.

“We started off with a very tired, disused mall two-and-a-half, three years ago and we’re really ecstatic with what has happened,” he said.

I find this part kinda funny for there is a large asian population here relatively speaking and a surprisingly large group who would shop there for specialty items. Great to hear though that we proved them wrong
