That's simply too far out of the way for most people.
When I lived in West Broadway, I walked across the bridge to Safeway, if I wanted produce or a variety of things. There was nothing in the area that either had what I was looking for or reasonably priced. If you live in the east end of Downtown, the Exchange, or even the Old Part of St.Boniface, a Sobey's at the location stated would be practical.

the downtown sobeys in edmonton closed years ago, and another grocer on their "premier" (read all condos priced $400,000 and up) street is closing in October. Edmonton is the exact downtown we don't want to become - unaffordable, grocers that only do well with massive parking lots, and crappy chains everywhere, mixed in with a few unaffordable restaurants and shops.
