According to Sobeys' website this store is still there: http://www.sobeys.com/search-store/stor ... _store=yes

I wonder if the store still has its parcel pickup?

Here in Ottawa, Billings Bridge Plaza had 2 grocery stores in the mall: a Loblaws and a Steinberg. Loblaws bought all Steinberg stores in Ottawa in the early-90s. Loblaws then converted the Steinberg's to their Your Independent Grocer (YIG) banner, before closing the store in the late 1990s deciding...

I'm going to Toronto in a couple of weeks, so I'll be on the lookout for other great looking A&P/Dominion/Food Basics stores. Out of the 60 or so around the GTA, I've probably only ever been to 1/3 of them. I also want to "check-out" the fairly new Whole Foods while I'm there. It's the...

I'm pretty sure that location has always been Dominion. Not to get too off topic, but the I do remember Miracle Mart banner was actually used around Ottawa by Steinberg's.

A&P acquired Dominion in the 1980s, but what happened to Steinberg's? Per Wikipedia, their stores were former Grand Union stores purchased by the Steinbergs in 1959. Another post here suggested that the Steinberg family of Montreal also owned Miracle Mart stores and that these may have been sol...

http://groceteria.com/forboard/5915yonge.jpg I almost spit out my soda when I saw this amazing specimen. Based on the fact that it's now a Food Basics, I'd guess it was formerly a Dominion store, since it sure doesn't look like any A&P I've ever seen. However, I'm not all that familiar with the...
