I moved here 9 years ago, and haven't even once stepped foot in that place. Doesn't help that they are in the worst/suspicious location possible

Which was once a Shoppers.

And according to someone in the other thread, rubble from the demolition of the building was used to fill the site, which made it unstable and uneven, so they're digging up the old building debris to replace with compacted fill and then resurfacing the lot.

After hearing about St. Louis Bar & Grill opening up in Moncton last month and seeing somewhere that one was also opening in Fredericton, I thought I would contact them to see if any plans for Saint John were in the works. Here was the reply:

"Thank you so very much for your interest in St. Louis Bar and Grill!

We opened our first location on Mountain Rd. in Moncton in April 2013 and quite candidly, the response by the local community has been amazing! We’ve had unbelievable sales and even better, wonderful, positive feedback from customers regarding our unique product offering and casual, friendly and fun atmosphere. Needless to say, we are ecstatic and will be looking to develop a second location in New Brunswick in the very near future. From what we here, Saint John is a diverse community that presents a good opportunity for St. Louis so the simple answer is yes, we will certainly be looking to develop in that market.

If your interest is that of a potential franchise partner, we should connect by phone for discussion. If your inquiring as a future customer, I’d be happy to include you on our distribution list to receive our grand opening invitation. Please let me know."

I'm not sure if she's referring to the "grand opening" at the Moncton location, or that there will be one in Saint John if one is to be opening and she's just not at liberty to say yet....

Never give my sources....who cares anyway??

Most folks who live in Saint John and better yet Saint John West call this the K-Mart mall. You must be from out of town??

People care for the source of this claim because it adds credibility... without a source it's just something some guy on the internet made up.

I've lived in West Saint John for 17 years and have never once heard Lancaster Mall called "The K-Mart Mall"...

Ditto, never heard anyone call it that and I've lived in SJ for 29 years (minus several years of university).
