Downtown needs a supermarket.
I've lived downtown for some years and I find it's the one thing I miss most. Yes, I'm aware that I can get fresh produce and ramen at New City, veg at the market, bread at various places around, and canned soup, eggs and milk at shoppers. The reality is though, that it's more trips to different places than I'm willing to make. Also, for people with non-standard work hours, getting to the Market or Shoppers or New City before they close is kind of a pain.
Yes we have Central Fresh Market, but I don't consider that downtown. I'm temporally closer to the Highland Hills Superstore where I can get everything in one trip on the bus than I am to Central, and the prices are better too.
