Anyone knows when superstore is opening? I was walking by a few days ago and already saw staff leaving the store wearing their regular staff uniforms (blue t-shirt with a sticky that has their name on it). You can also see some of the shelves stocked with products through some of the windows. Opening should be imminent at this point but I can’t seem to find any information about it.

It should be opening sometime this month

According to a member on a local FB group, her daughter is working there and said Friday May 15th is opening day

Wonder how well the retail will do there, tough time to be opening anything and I feel like EV has lost momentum in recent years.

They’ll have EV, Victoria Park, the CBD, Bridgeland, Chinatown, and Eau Claire (totalling around 25 000 people) to draw significant numbers from, as none of them have a proximal full service grocery store. Even I’ll be using this one. I live in Mission, but our Safeway is absolute garbage, and this will be pretty much equidistant from Mission as the Beltline Safeway is.

I really wish they could landscape this and add some street trees. I recall earlier in the thread someone mentioned they can't due to URW's. Looks pretty oppressive and institutional without some softscaping though.

It is really close to the City Hall LRT station and it wouldn't surprise me if they get a lot of foot traffic to/from the station the way Sunnyside Safeway does. I would also imagine they'll get some foot traffic from BVC students.

It is a shame a plus 15 connection wasn't permitted between this building and BVC. Would have been very well used by students then.

Are people really that lazy though? I suppose the psychological barrier of having to cross the street and stuff for lunch... hmmm. I can’t see that being a big revenue loss though.

I'm just glad the opening isn't being pushed back farther, though I suppose that's still a possibility..

When it is really cold out, yes. Or, that may be my gradually aging self talking.....

Anyone know if the rest of the (currently) uncladded twisty concrete columns are going to get the same cladding treatment as the ones in the SW corner?
