RE: General Retail News - SF22 - 10-18-2023 Oof, there are 3 separate drive-thrus planned for that plaza RE: General Retail News - nms - 10-18-2023 Would the City need to tighten its urban design guidelines (eg no drive throughs) in order to avoid getting dumped in front of the OLT by default for refusing to accept this plan? RE: General Retail News - TMKM94 - 10-19-2023 I'm looking forward to Longo's coming to Kitchener I heard lots of good things about that store. Also seeing Burger King make a comeback is exciting for me too. RE: General Retail News - ac3r - 10-19-2023 Burger King always got way more hate than it deserved. They weren't that bad.

(Fisher Hallman/Huron) It has yet to be officially confirmed by Longos. The building permit for the foundation is in progress. RE: General Retail News - ac3r - 10-20-2023 Couple more business failed downtown again. Goodvibes juice and the cafe that was in 1 Victoria are both empty and up for lease. Not surprised TBH.

In the meantime, a bunch of new places have opened up downtown, which is not a surprise TBH.

They seem to have just closed their storefront, but still sell online and are stocked at other retailers. Although they could go out of business for all I care, since they stopped selling kombucha and went all in on "natural health shots" or whatever nonsense. RE: General Retail News - ac3r - 10-21-2023 Yeah they sell online. I just meant the place is up for lease now. Downtown can be a bit of a revolving door when it comes to businesses, depending on what they are. RE: General Retail News - Chris - 10-23-2023 Noticed that the Ultramar at Weber and Union looks to be currently closed. The driveways are blocked off and the On the Go retail store is mostly empty except for a shelf or two.

I'm almost certain it's being turned into a Pioneer, especially now that you mentioned a On the run being there. When Ultramart was open It was called Express Mart. I know the same company that owns Ultramar also owns Pioneer and they bought Husky and turned the Kitchener Husky locations into Pioneer with On the run. RE: General Retail News - nms - 11-06-2023 After 40 years, Adventure Guide is closing due to retirement on December 23, 2023. Quote:STORE CLOSING PERMANENTLY DECEMBER 23rd AT 5:00 pm. RE: General Retail News - danbrotherston - 11-07-2023 Weird that they would not sell the business.

Some people feel close ownership of a brand and don't trust others to maintain its legacy. |
