General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[MidTowner]

The LCBO in Midtown is reducing its hours (yes, it's possible for them to be open even less) starting in a week or so. I asked one of the employees about it, and she said that sales have slowed so much that they've lost one full-time employee. She says that the lease is up at the end of the year and, although they're not sure what will happen, their real estate people are searching to see if there is a suitable location somewhere nearby. She was careful to say that this next part was a bit of speculation, but she said the belief is that the lease won't be extended, and that there's hope to coordinate something with the developer so a trailer can be set up until a space is ready in the new development.

I didn't want to bump the King's Crossing thread with this, in case someone got excited about the possibility of some news. The only thing really concrete is that the LCBO there will become even less useful soon.
