On a related subject, is it safe to assume that most Food Basics stores around Toronto are former A&P or Dominion locations? Or that most No Frills stores are former Loblaw's? Anyone familar with the Toronto landscape out there? Resurrecting this thread to say "not necessarily" ...

... (under "E") and one other one might be "Raymond Épicerie" (under "R"). And in the earliest directories, Dominion was still a "store." The street names are ever worse. Rues (streets) and avenues are alphabetized under the proper name, so Rue Desjardins ...

Yes they did renovate and take upscale a few Dominion Stores as The Food Emporium. As I recall there was still some Dominion branding - I recall the D logo specifically - on the stores. I know of two locations that were converted - one in Mississauga ...

... anything other than the Wikipedia page for The Food Emporium which says the "The Food Emporium" brand name was used *inside* of their Dominion stores (which is even more confusing) it also says the Canadian format was "garnished" sometime in the 90's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Food_Emporium ...

... I’m going to go back and look at (I meant to do it before posting). That said none of the “usual suspects“ that tend to be predecessors (A&P, Dominion, Miracle Food Mart) seem to have been present in the later years. There are also no Metro stores. It’s also interesting to note that there ...

The 1930s Dominion site at 938 2nd Ave E is a must-see...it's in a single-story mid-block storefront with Art Deco brick detailing, including a pattern of three recessed squares on the upper facade. I wonder if Dominion commissioned the architecture itself?

... closed/relocated, it became part of a new corridor at the mall around 1994-ish, making K-Mart (now a Hudson's Bay store) a new anchor. As for the Dominion store at Georgian Mall, Herbie's Drug & Food Warehouse (544 Bayfield St) moved to the former Dominion space around 1992... that store had ...

... were are anyone's guess...he doesn't say.) As might be expected, there are a wealth of supermarket images to go around. Here's what I found: Dominion and Loblaws (paired side-by-side in the same centre!!), Polo Park, 1974 Safeway and Loblaws (still paired side-by-side!), Polo Park, 1984 . ...

Thrift was a discount Dominion banner. It was common for Dominion to rebrand older and smaller stores to either Thrift or Mr. Grocer in the 70s and 80s.

It's my pleasure! :) I may have found another possible Dominion with similar architecture. This is a 2nd Muskoka example, in the town of Gravenhurst. The first example was the Huntsville one in the last post. https://www.google.ca/maps/@44.9201405,-79.372637,3a,75y,295.03h,92.03t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4023TtYRLnG3eD4ASfBmUQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 ...

This was likely a small-town format Dominion store from the 1950s or 60s. It is consistent with other Dominion stores throughout small-town Ontario. For example, I have seen similar buildings in Prescott, Huntsville and Napanee. All of those ...
