General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[mpd618]

The same applies with local traffic. Those who work or live near King and Victoria would have found Dake one way or the other. Also, perhaps a bit of a stereotype, but sushi seems to be popular with high-tech, high(er) income people. So again that demographic would be attracted to a place like Dake even without a "main drag" location. 

I'd have that all the high-tech businesses in the area would have made for good lunch traffic, meetings catering, etc. too.

I think Dake felt a bit too far from the Tannery, 72 Victoria St S, and certainly anything in downtown proper. It's not the real distance, it's the amount of empty space you have to traverse to get there - empty stretches around the School of Pharmacy or its parking lot, the King/Breithaupt intersection itself, and the strip mall lot. And the Breithaupt Block hasn't yet been full enough to provide much demand.
