anyhow i am glad you have a plan lol
we have no car.. so when we do go shopping it is usually a one-store trip. so it would be great to have one downtown and not have to take a cabload of groceries home.
Vincenzo's is now in Waterloo, next to Bauer Lofts. It's a pretty long walk there from downtown Kitchener, but an easy bicycle ride on the Iron Horse Trail. (And it's really a deli so we won't be buying so much that we can't carry it back in backpacks.) None of New City, Arcuense, Nougat, Kitchener Market (or Shoppers Drug Mart) provide a complete grocery selection, but they have enough that full grocery store visits will be less frequent. And once enough people move into downtown, I believe that we will see a full-line grocery store in downtown again. Maybe within five years?
As for now, we'll still have a car but we are not intending to drive nearly as much once we move downtown. (Yes, I'll be walking to work.)
