Hearth moving into the Remai is fantastic news. I have been to Hearth many times and have always been impressed by the quality of their food. Now they will have a beautiful restaurant space to match. Big win for both parties.

There was a rumour at one time that it might be the old Grainfield's from the Grosvenor Park Shopping Centre. The current Grainfield's website states "We are coming soon..." and boasts two Saskatoon locations, only one of which is currently operational.

TD bank is relocating to this location from their current spot near McNally.

I'm excited as an eastside TD customer -- their current spot on 8th is terrible to access with right in-right out and no back lane connection. I'll often go out of my way to Stonebridge to avoid the hassle, unless I plan on continuing down 8th Street for other errands.

The lack of a back lane connection makes no sense, it would make it much easier to navigate. But I find a lot of the parking lots on 8th make no sense. The Popeye's lot is horrendous...

Anyone know when Browns Crafthouse is opening at River Landing?

The Bess · #**670** Posted **Oct 6, 2022, 4:15 PM**

I believe they said spring of 2023 for Browns Crafthouse

Crisis · #**671** Posted **Oct 6, 2022, 5:25 PM**

Where at River Landing is this Brown's Crafthouse going?

It's not clear in their past press release: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5...4/Press+Release+-+Saskatoon+Projects.pdf

There's still an available CRU in each the Nutrien and East Towers facing the plaza. Neither are particularly large (the East Tower space looks bigger) but maybe they are planning for a pretty cozy little space.

The other possibility is the top floor space in the East Tower.

The newest location for the company at 45-2403 Preston Avenue S opened its doors yesterday. The food is OK, at best, but is no Pink Cadillac's or Fudruckers. I was a little underwhelmed by it all. The service was excellent.

I tried one in Calgary and had the same feeling--meh.

I see Liberty Kitchen is part of that group--they're opening in the former Famoso Pizza place in the Lawson mall parking lot.

Dough Box Pizza coming to the Baydo building on Broadway: https://doughbox.ca/find-locations/

prairieguy · #**677** Posted **Jan 10, 2023, 10:22 PM**

competition for Una just down the street. I hope that doesn't mean the 'end' of Una. I think it is a bit different target market, so hopefully there is space for both on Broadway.

Based on the signage, it looks like a pizza-by-the-slice place will be opening across from Prairie Sun, so there won't be a lack of pizza options around there.

Also, Drift is closing. I never liked it --- it always seemed poorly run to me --- but the building's great. I wonder what will move in there.

Best Slice Pizza is up and running, although I haven't been yet.

In a follow-up announcement made fast enough to give you whiplash, Junior Cafe is opening a 2nd location on the main floor and they'll be announcing plans for the 2nd floor later: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSlw7pJ4q1/

This is the Congress/13 Pies/Hometown/Ace group, so I'm optimistic even though I loved Drift/Vista. The 2nd floor lounge and roof is one of my favourite spaces in the city.

Wow that's great news! It's too cool a space not to be full of people.

Sounds like the Crazy Cactus building will need new tenants too. I wonder what would really work there...
