Edit Reason: Updated Beat Goes On new location
)
I think something major that might include demolition is happening soon to the Food Basics Plaza On Highland Rd/Lawrence Ave, at least the old Angel's Diner up to the old Dollar Store section. Diapers and More is closing there retail store according to there facebook page it's due to Construction and having to make an immediate decision. Kumon moved a few months ago and now Beat Goes on is moving to a New Waterloo location 341 Weber ST.N next month. There are construction fences throughout the property they seem to be sawing away at some asphalt and all the street plaza signs have been down for Months. I started this thread for any rumors people might hear or if someone finds something online. Any guesses of what's going on?

Any idea what’s going in here? Drove by the other day and a lot of work has been done. The outer of the Angels was green and I was worried we’re gonna see yet another Dollarama in the area.

There used to be a dollar store in that plaza, I forget the name of it... think it was in the old Jumbo Video space.

I can confirm the rumours and concerns about Dollarama opening in the plaza are true. they have it on the plaza sign. I like Dollarama but I think there going overboard opening this location. This location will be there 22nd Location in Waterloo Region. I'm hoping there at least moving the location Down the street at Westmount and Highland. If not I would say it's pretty obvious there trying to get rid of all there competition. Dollar Tree the second biggest Dollar store chain in Canada (I'm Assuming),only has 5 Locations in Waterloo Region.
The Space beside the Dollarama is going to be Sherwin Williams Paints.

It had better be a move, opening another so close is definitely oversaturation.
