"Major" meaning large or meaning chains?

Either a really good neighborhood pub, or like Montanas, or similar. I know Fairway road has a lot and Victoria has Kelseys, so it makes it tough.

It is disappointing that that area hasn't even got any interesting fast food places like a shawarma place or a burrito place, let alone a more upscale restaurant or pub.

A bit small, imho, but good to see. I think they will do well there.

Farm Boy will probably gain some student business from the Northdale area. Will be the closest grocery store for them now.

Didn't someone just suggest that Waterloo was due for a Farm Boy?
RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 02-04-2020
Sounds familiar ....
RE: General Retail News - Spokes - 02-04-2020
Was that you??? You're a smart one.
RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 02-04-2020
