I shop fairly frequently at (a different) farm boy. They do postal code survey's all the time at the cash to see where customers are coming from. I suspect they didn't feel they needed the store once they opened the one on Innes. I am guessing what they probably found out is that few people from North Orleans were heading all the way up to Innes rd.
Heck when I lived out that way I used to go to Walmart a fair bit when they were at Place D'Orleans. It was really easy coming to or from the bus station. Once they moved to Innes road, I never shopped there again as it was not convenient. Retail is all about location.
Orleans has an odd layout due to the escarpment. It is hard and time consuming to travel in a North-South direction and is almost impossible to do on transit. Orleans has also gotten to the size where it can't really be considered one area anymore.
