Farm Boy is coming to Minto Westside (Front and Bathurst). HOME condos at Power/Adelaide across the street from here will be getting a grocery store, it was rumoured to be Sobey’s (parent of Farm Boy), so let’s see.

What a dog this is turning out to be. I don't normally like to weigh in this early, but…

Corktown deserves so much better than this. ?

Yeah, this is awful.
I think the proposal up the street on Parliament & Queen (Shoppers Drug Mart) is supposed to include a grocery store as well. A return of Sobeys to Corktown would be interesting. I will also add that Rocco's No Frills at Front & Princess is a very good store.

That No Frills location is easily the best I've ever been in.

Lansdowne and Dundas is pretty damn good too.
The best budget grocer in the city right now if you ask me is the new FreshCo on Bathurst. I did my groceries there this week and was blown away.

Yes, when I lived in the area I loved shopping there. So clean.

Just the latest in a series of very questionable decisions on this project:

It's like a bad car accident. You want to look away but you just can't do it. This is horrific.

Re: grocery stores discussion above
As a West Ender who lives fairly close to multiple grocery stores including both No Frills, Freshco and also Food Basics, Sobeys, Nations. I'd give the edge to No Frills for consistency of deals combined with Optimum Points. Nations at Stockyards has become a good spot too in my neck of the woods.

I passed by today. Luckily I didn't have my camera. I got a really good look at this thing in person and it's worse than I thought. It is god awful. From the multi colored brick to the cheap materials. Think this one's going to get a lot of flack around here and maybe one of the worst builds I've seen in a long time.

When it first opened it really was very good but they seem to be trying to move more down-market as the quality of the vegetables is now generally poor and the range of 'higher end' products seems to shrink week by week. I certainly continue to shop there for many things but no longer do 90% of my grocery shopping there.
