I think a rebrand is likely because this location has become too small for a Zehrs. I think this is the smallest store in the region still carrying that name, so I feel confident the rebuild will bring that change with it.

I've moved the non-specific Grocery Store speculation along with the Loblaws news post to the Grocery Stores thread.

The Home Hardware at Pioneer Plaza abruptly closed on the weekend due to the forthcoming redevelopment of the plaza.

If nothing else that will offer some spectacular views consider the elevation there.

Choice REIT (Loblaws) owns the land so It's up in the air. I would imaging a large size Zehrs would take advantage of the growing area and lack of other options.

The woodlot at Bleams and Century Hill has been felled! I was quite surprised to see the change as I passed. I'm curious what sort of develoment is in store.
This area, for the record:

It's a shame we see perfectly nice woodlots like this cleared out when there are so many other good sites.
RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 05-01-2016
Looks like Revel will be building a group of low-rise apartments on the site, a total of 40 units. There is a building permit issued only for the plumbing so far.

It was likely a residential-zoned lot created as part of the adjacent subdivision approved 20+ years ago prior to standard and modern natural heritage (environmental) policies.

You sure it's Revel? I thought they were having financial difficulties and on a bit of a hiatus.

No, not sure, only "looks like."
The original building permit was by Revel, but it's possible they have sold the property to someone else.
RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - Smore - 05-02-2016
at one point in the last couple years there was a Revel "for sale" sign on the corner of this property...
