So they're replacing National Sports?
Seems odd to have two discount grocers in the same building...doubly so since they are both loblaws brands...maybe they're expecting some synergy from being co-located...but it seems like combining a discount grocer with a mid- or up- market grocer would make sense...
Maybe I need an MBA to see the logic there.
National Sports as a chain was shuttered. Loblaws owns the building and determined a need for a discount grocer in the area, and had the space.
Wholesale Club isn't a discount grocer - they cater more to business, although anyone can shop there. Most discount grocers don't sell massive ice cream tubs, huge vacuum sealed meat cuts etc.
