A grocery store chain taking a gamble on a smaller format (that's going against the longtime trend in their industry) in a condo on Dundas Street West is a bit different than taking a similar gamble in downtown Kitchener. I hope that we do before long see a grocery store in downtown proper, but I fear it might be a considerable wait.
I'm sure others will argue against me, but I don't think they're there yet. They're going to want to see a critical mass living within a walking distance, and it's just not there yet.
