RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - DHLawrence - 02-12-2016 Is Schreiters closing or moving? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 02-12-2016 (02-12-2016, 11:04 PM)panamaniac Wrote: If Schrieters were to move rather than close, the Eatons Loft property would make a pretty decent show room. But 20% less space, and surely no cheaper, so I don't think that particular move would make any sense for Schreiter's. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 02-17-2016 There is a "Leased" sign in the window of the former Casablanca used bookstore in the Weber Chambers building. Anybody have any intel on who's planning to move in to this space, which iirc, was 3,000 sq ft? Not much seems to have happened with this renovation project, including the upstairs apartments, since the Mayfair demolition last year.

I've heard talk of an Italian style place being opened by the PartyTown group, this could be a spot for them?

No idea, but I'm reminded that the new liquour licence for the former Caesaria space was for a pub with an Italian name. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 02-17-2016 Smile Tiger Coffee Roasters on Ahrens St is applying for a liquor licence. A nice after-work spot near the Breithaupt Block? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 02-17-2016 Do they have a shop/café in the building? The name is new to me. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - MidTowner - 02-17-2016 I thought it was just catering. It hasn't been around long. If they're going to have a licensed café, that's very cool and a nice development (slightly) westward on Weber. Edit: Sorry, Ahrens, not Weber. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - dubya - 02-17-2016 Smile Tiger is the owned by the same people who own DVLB Espresso and Whiskey in uptown Waterloo. This will be their main roasting location. Smile Tiger Coffee is also served at Google and a number of other locations Theme will be different than DVLB here with more of a Scandinavian look. Plans are for a licensed patio out back too. Opening is set for sometime in the Spring.

RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - BuildingScout - 02-20-2016 What a difference a bit of upkeep makes. This property had always been quite a bit of a blight driving past GRH towards Waterloo. They replaced the awning and gave it a coat of paint and it's almost unrecognizable: Before: https://goo.gl/maps/AC2VWUae9w62 After: https://goo.gl/maps/VwCShm3AGF42 RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - clasher - 02-20-2016 Sometimes it only takes a little bit of maintenance to really freshen a place up.

The community must be booming!
