Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
Wow, $500K? That's cheaper than most two bedroom condos in the distillery. This is like ten times the size. Can I just live in it.

^All the reasons you state for not liking it were caused by lack of customers (minus the high prices--in today's world, F&W has no right to exist. It reminds me of Harvest Wagon--a pointless operation.) Lack of customers means a shop must reduce staff, reduce selection, reduce turnover. It's the reality of business. A Whole Foods wouldn't be viable in that location. Queen East Beach area? Perfect fit. DD--hell no!
No frills has big expansion plans in downtown and Sun building No frills will be up and running before the end of this year. I wonder what will happen to Sobey's on Front / Sherbourne as they dont own that land and Regent park Sobeys coming up soon. This particular Sobeys was a temporary location since day one and with No frills coming up across the road, this Sobeys is bound to close. Residential buildings in this area are mostly dominated by subsidised Toronto housing apartments and people in this area desperately need this No Frills.
Yeah, even RP getting a Sobey's instead of No Frills puzzles me. Are they purposely trying to make gov't subsidized people spend more (gov't) money on food?
For basic food, NF's can't be beat! I get my meat from Butcher by Nature (Annette and Runnymede--their sausages are the best!) or Rowe farms, some organic veggies from Sweet Potato, good cheese around Roncevalles area, but my basics come from No Thrills--why would anyone pay $2 for a can of tomatoes when NF's sells you the same can for .79?
