RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 12-15-2014 B&T Supermarket (450 King St E) will be re-opening on December 18th. Glad to see them back! RE: General Retail News - BuildingScout - 12-15-2014 (12-15-2014, 03:17 PM)panamaniac Wrote: The Cash Store at King and Queen Sts seems to have closed (again). I hope the closure is permanent this time. I think there was an article in the Record a few months back saying that entire building was up for renovations. The bar was moving out, no more tenants in the apartments upstairs. Anyone else remembers this? RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 12-15-2014 There was a Record article about the upper floors of that section of the building being converted into offices, but it was pretty vague about what would happen on the ground floor. I don't recall anything about the bar being closed. The Cash Store corner would make a good retail space or coffee shop, I would think. RE: General Retail News - REnerd - 12-15-2014 I think there was some news of that particular chain of cash stores going under. They were closing multiple stores in Ontario. I believe this is unrelated to the proposed changes to the building. RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 12-19-2014 The new Beer Store at King and Francis Sts has been stocked up, so should be open any day now. RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 12-19-2014 And the Record is reporting that the new Beer Store will open tomorrow, Saturday. I wonder, if I get there early enough, will they be giving away free beer? RE: General Retail News - ookpik - 12-19-2014 Yes, according to this sign: RE: General Retail News - Lens - 01-02-2015 Some downtown shuffling happening soon. Games Exchange, currently in the 2 story plaza at Charles and Queen will be moving to candy candy candy's spot on the corner of Queen and Charles while candy will be moving over to Ontario st beside adventures guild cafe RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 01-02-2015 I was just about to post that! I think the new location will be better for candy, candy (more foot traffic). Little Mushroom has moved out of the space that they will be taking and gone to somewhere in Waterloo. I'd love to see the building that Games Exchange is currently in come down - it's such a blight. I also noticed today that Entertaining Elements is closed - no sign in the window about whether it's temporary, holiday, permanent or what.

Given an LRT platform is going in on its street frontage, I think the property value impact alone will quickly see it made into a denser structure. RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 01-03-2015 The whole half block behind St Matthews could be beautifully redeveloped (everything bounded by Charles, Queen and Church, except for the old house on the corner of Queen and Church). RE: General Retail News - panamaniac - 01-17-2015 Candy, Candy, Candy has now moved over to 32 Ontario St N.

I emailed Revel months ago for an update on the project but never received a response.

RE: General Retail News - Smore - 01-18-2015 What was the last project Revel/Madison completed? Anyone?
