They do, and I have used that location at least 3 or 4 times. It just sucks that it's at the north (west?) entry point for DTK. That's all. You're coming north (or east, or west, or whatever) from Waterloo, you see the u-haul, it's the Welcome to Downtown Kitchener sign.
But it's after Google, (soon) Station Park, (soon) Transit Hub and the pharmacy building. More or less hidden behind 1 Victoria, unl;ess you are looking for it. Even arriving from (Kitchener) south, you will first see the McIntosh laundry building, the Glove Box, 100 Victoria/Garment St and the renovated factories with D2L and Deloitte.
It's there for now, but I personally don't see it as a big deal. When the time is right, the owners will either sell it or develop it.
