Looks like some tenants have been signed including a Food Basics. I wish it was something different as this part of town is already saturated with traditional and discount banners that we already have plenty of locally. A Metro would have been more exciting. https://oneproperties.com/assets/Propert...r-2020.pdf
The first plans we saw for this site indicated it would be a Metro - I'm as disappointed as you to see their discount brand instead. We're still waiting on a store from their flagship around here...
I agree. I really like Metro because they offer much better ready made meals than both Sobeys and Zehrs, plus their instore pizza is divine. However, since their flagship store in Cambridge failed it appears that Metro Ontario is scared to open another flagship store in the region. It really sucks because honestly we have enough Food Basics here and we didn't need another. Plus the nearest Metro is already more than 30 minutes away in Guelph.
