I still think we might get a T&T at Chard's Douglas & Caledonia project.

I think that market will struggle to support one Asian grocery store.

Asian grocer H Mart to lease recently vacated Toys R Us space at Victoria's Mayfair Shopping Centre

Excellent news!

I think the store will do just fine. It will really hurt Fariways and Chinatown grocers the most..

 

H Mart appears to be Korean focused. It may have a different product mix than a T&T.

This is very exciting!  H Mart definitely has a different product mix, with some overlap.  I believe it's similar to T&T in that they usually have hot food options as well, and a bakery.

That's right; I've been to a couple H Marts in the lower mainland, and although there is a korean focus, they sell pretty much everything for all asian cuisines. 

 

I think this will be tough competition for the Quadra Fairways and the markets in Chinatown for sure... I'm okay with this.

Mayfair Shopping Centre in Victoria is promising four days of rides, treats and games for the whole family when its Spring Fair returns this Thursday.

 

The fair, happening April 27-30, will envelop the mall’s parking lot at the corner of Finlayson and Blanshard streets, where West Coast Amusements will set up various rides — including kiddie land, major and spectacular rides — to accommodate thrill seekers of all ages.

Every time I drive down Blanshard I am reminded how badly the mall and the strip mall adjacent really need their exteriors power washed. That “Woodward’s” logo is still visible…

That’s a heritage mildew stain now.
