Deconstruction of Superstore

Changes are more evident every day at the Lancaster Mall Superstore; soon to be No Frills.

For the past several weeks the staff has been emptying the shelves of "frilly" items, products that are more than basics.  These items have been reduced by 50% and make for some great bargains.  Today I noticed the bakery was covered in a huge tarp. There are still bakery items available, but there isn't a place to get a birthday cake personalized.  I am not 100% sure I'll be happy with the new store, but I'll give it a chance.

There has been a bit of media attention lately about the struggles the COOP  on Fairville Blvd. has been having for the past while.  Maybe SJ Transit should consider pulling in to make a stop a the COOP before heading over to the Sobeys Plaza across the street. Might make a difference to some folks.

There is no doubt, however, the arrival of Cosco has changed the landscape of grocery shopping.
