Longos typically have Starbucks in their locations. Most loblaw stores with coffee that I have seen have Tim’s. So this would be new.

Zehrs Laurentian has a Tim's as well.

Target had Starbucks when they were here.

Has this ever been done anywhere else? It seems rather strange to add a Starbucks to a grocery store.

At the Loblaws across from Mel lastman square at North York in Toronto has a Tims in it. I've also seen a loblaws owned grocery store out east with a Subway in it.

The Metro in Collingwood recently had a Starbucks added during renovations of the store.

Metro in Guelph has a Starbucks too. Same with Longos.

LONGOS' stores in GTA (closest one is Guelph) have Starbucks in all their stores.

Question for anybody here who might know or have an opinion (WRC is where I come for recommendations): what is the best place for falafel near a 301 station?

I saw a report that Crafty Ramen would be moving into "276 King W" this fall. Is this the place that was mentioned a few weeks back that will take a space on the Water St side, or is this a second new tenant?

There's an LLBO application in the window where Empress of India used to be for a "Southern Bourbon and BBQ".

Apparently, Capers has plans to move to another Downtown location when they move out of the American Hotel block:
