Completely agree. I'm just wondering if there will be a market for an additional grocer like the developers are touting.
I think there is potential. All the current grocery stores are surviving with the
current population. Save On is entering the area but there has been some densification just north on Pembina and they will also serve Bishop Grandin Crossings (sugar beet land infill).
I know that the Safeway by Giant Tiger is pretty quiet but that could be a result of proximity to superstore and the financial demographics of the area.
It might not be a national chain or a large footprint store but I think a scaled down grocer could work.
