I hate the fact that I have to drive to fairway rd to shop at those types of stores. Would much prefer to walk dtk. I do think it is something our downtowns could work on. I feel like the only option is to go to the suburban plazas if I want to go to a Canadian tire or winners type stores. I know that is the nature of these retailers but i feel like every major city in the country has urban versions of these suburban box stores and they seem to work. Maybe Adventure guide will come to its senses and relocate from the boardwalk. One can hope.
Marcheleo's does carry daily staples (milk, eggs, cereal, bread etc) as well, at least in their Toronto location (as does SDM for that matter) -- in that regard they are different from Vincenzo's.
My point is more that Marcheleo's won't necessarily be known for its cheep prices. It is a specialty store focusing on healthy organic eating. Not something I would personally go to for my weekly shopping list.
