The community carrot was pretty over-hyped, but one of the reasons I think it didn’t do well is because it didn’t offer everything needed from a grocery store. The carrot was basically an over glorified veggie stand, you would still need to visit the Oxford Sobeys for most of your staples. The African and Korean marts do well because they offer exclusive items popular in the community. The increasing density of the area could make it an attractive location for something like a No Frills.
Sure, online banking is more common nowadays but we still see new branches pop up and there’s always the occasional reason to go in. BMO and TD on SGR were completely revamped a few years ago.
