They left Canada almost 25 years ago. I still remember their store at the Eaton Centre. Are they any less dowdy than before?

The UK stores are more like Pret but yes.

Isnt there only 1 Starbucks right now?

I saw a 2 more opening (one near Apple beside Jack/Jones) and then another beside Lindt/Davids Tea)

so that would be 3... is there a 4th?

The 4th one is next to Best Buy, just inside the mall entrance on Dundas, behind the escalators down to the long hallway with CT/Marks at the end. Easy to forget though since it's pretty removed from the rest of the mall.

Damnit.. we need Marks and Spencer!

Personally, M&S is probably the number one store I'd like to see (re)enter the Canadian market. Even if it was just M&S Simply Food. Fond memories of going to Kingston as a kid to go to the M&S there (my parents are both from the UK so it was like a bit of home for them).

Primark?


Walmart jr? LOL

Much of their food, being Brit, is a bit dull to my pallet; though I imagine they've added a few curry items these days......

But I must admit a certain fond nostalgia for a pack of Spring Onion Crisps.

None of this sour cream nonsense messing up the flavour profile.

I would love for them to come back to Toronto. I still think of M&S every time I pass by American Eagle in the Eaton Centre. I enjoyed going to their shops in Athens. They had a good selection of clothes for Men, along with a decent food section and cafe at top floor of the downtown flagship. I really miss their Shrimp Cocktail chips/snacks though, which I couldn't find there. Are they still being made?

I'm going to guess the Old Navy is becoming an Urban Planet or one of their cousins.

Yes, I despise sour cream and onion chips!! However, the Lays I've found that are purely green onion are delicious without that filth!

I want Marks and Spencer to come back solely for their cranberry and orange cookies...

Where are the Lays Green Onion (only) flavour to be found?

Certain European shops and grocers (Starsky in Mississauga) carry them, as well as novelty snack stores (like Trap Mart on Queen West).

I do wish Starsky would open an outpost closer to downtown Toronto. I've only been in it the once, because its way out of my way.

Urban Planet is brutal.

I feel like the 2024 version of this is cell phone kiosks.
