Speaking objectively, Dollarama should likely end up serving the area's residents well. The two within several blocks radius in the Spadina/King area are doing fine.
yup - I had the same reaction to the one going in at 10 Dundas. Initial disappointment - but then elation as it will be a great utility type store to have nearby.
Sometimes you just need some cheapo stuff, very quickly. Dollarama has saved me during film shoots and events many times. It'll be good to have one across the street!
I was inside here yesterday. Still lots of retail spots to open up, including according to the signs a whole pile of eateries by Coppa's, one of which has now opened at the top of the escalators near the One York PATH entrance:
With the windows opposite this facing the Gardiner, there's quite a bit of light in this hallway, and I can see this becoming a well-enjoyed bit of the PATH system vr the coming years.
