I understand critical mass but where did all the business from THE BAY go? That was their number one money making dept. in that store for the past decade. It is just that their parent company no longer wished to be in the food game. I know people will comment if it was a money maker why are they not doing it? The food market went to Zeller's and The bay itself got out of food and does not carry it in any other market.

That store closed last year because it consistently lost money. Rest assured the rest of the market is paying attention.
