I do love these buildings in the skyline, but up close they are pretty fugly!

Do we have any real info about this speculation? Any opening dates or insider knowledge?

Perhaps I missed it - but I don’t recall any real details on this grocery store possibility?

13000sqft seems quite small, like maybe the size of a Shopper's

Maybe a bright yellow facade would improve the look of this building

The podium facing 9th ave perfectly reflects the freeway that runs right in front of it.

I prefer to think of it as a woonerf, which is about as accurate as calling it a freeway.

Read the No Frills in here opens today, anyone check it out yet?

Apparently it’s about the size of a Dollarama. I think it’s good we have discount stores in downtown, it just seems unique to Calgary.

Still some retail available on 9th. This has exactly zero frontage on 9th outside of the covered windows behind some shelves.

Lol. Hundreds of feet of nothingness on the 9th Ave frontage and they put a small tucked away entrance on the 11st wasteland. Great planning.

That's brutal! you won't even know it's there unless you're standing in front of that little alcove. lol!

I'm curious how deep the store goes, the 9th ave part seems to just be windows, until you get to the garage door looking entrances. Guess it's another side effect of the terrible podium design.

I believe it was designed to have a full size grocery store originally, so it's likely quite deep. This store probably just partitioned off a small little piece of it.
