I'm not sure; I thought it was just the Ottawa location that was being converted, and I thought it was because Farm Boy was based there. I hadn't heard that they were abandoning the format.

To be honest, I've never been in a Farm Boy, and thought they were full-sized supermarkets. Perusing some of their newest stores now, I see that some of them are rather small for grocery stores and in very urban neighbourhoods, so I guess they would be a candidate for a space here.

Farm Boy's largest store, the new TrainYards flagship, will be 38,000 sq ft, so not huge by supermarket standards.   Their newest urban format, in Rideau Centre, would be under half that size, I believe.  I haven't really heard much about what their expansion plans are - there are two new stores coming in Ottawa and they were looking at opening urban formats in the GTA, but beyond that I haven't heard anything.  I think they should be looking at opening a full store in Waterloo, although I don't know where I'd put it.
