I like that store too.
The McPhillips store is not their standard prototype.
It only exists in a few select places.
The only other one I am aware of is in Surrey B.C.
As they open more stores very cautiously in this economy of uncertainty and click & collect options, perhaps one more might be an international food store in the future here at best.It is costly to carry inventory you are not buying in bulk like the basics at their other mainstream locations.
You will notice that +most of their international foods are from India Philippines and China.
Not much from Eastern or Western Europe.There are a few stores that cater to those tastes.
Fresh-co also has 2 very large International food aisles in their 2 stores.
I doubt they will have as much in all 4 of the 4 new ones opening this spring..
