But what about downtown? The reason I suggest this is because it would nicely service Riverview, and even Dieppe. I believe that people from Dieppe and Riverview would be more prone to use a Metro downtown than driving out to the north end. For one thing, the north end traffic seems to getting worse all the time.

Metro would surely be an excellent addition to the downtown core. Thoughts?

Isn’t there supposed to be an urban format grocery store on podium of the Infinity building? That would be a good spot for a Metro, no?

New pizza place open in the former Zio's location. Not Baci's, only the former Zio's section. I'll give it a try later this week.

I don't think anything has been determined yet for the commercial spaces, maybe an urban format grocery store would work. Especially if the Irving land next door would be developed with another large residential tower.

One of the renderings showed a sign above the door for the commercial space saying "Main Street Grocery". So it shows they are eyeing a grocery store tenant for the ground floor.

I would like to see this as a new to market store. Be it a Metro or another company’s branded store.

I hope this pizza is good, Moncton isnt exactly known for its pizza. The business gives me a weird vibe online with all of their AI created advertising, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Hit up Tide & Boar (West Main) for their Detroit style pizzas and garlic fingers. Yum.

The new (relocated) Ardene store at Wheeler Park is now open.

This clears the deck for renovations for Laura and Melanie Lyne to commence

Thai Express at CF Champlain is currently closed.

This is abrupt, and without notice. I have no idea if this is temporary or permanent.

if permanent, this CRU, and a couple of adjacent vacant (but hidden) CRUs could be combined and make an excellent location for Five Guys. This would mirror the existing Five Guys setup at the Avalon Mall in St. John's (mall based, at a major mall entrance, with an external entryway for after hours access).

The Granite location just opened today. Probably not a coincidence. Weren’t they initially moving from CF to Granite before changing their mind?

Apparently different franchisees.

Thai Express is no longer listed on the CF Champlain mall map. This closure therefore appears permanent.

A golden opportunity for Five Guys, if they are interested
