A new grocery store called Urban Grocer will be coming to the South Jubilee neighbourhood...

Is/was a Canada Post location.

^ Took long enough for some details! It's been rumoured that Vessel was going to open a grocery store here for a while, and the "urban grocer" name was revealed in September when the BP was issued. Always nice to see a new neighbourhood grocery open.

If you go to http://www.urban-grocer.ca you can register for their loyalty program and they will provide you with a $20 gift card.  It's a nice perk!

Hillside Thrifty's is doing a major reno. Only started recently. Was there earlier in the pandemic and nothing happening then. Likely rearranging the store to accommodate the new normal.

This location needs an entire re-build. It is far too small to accomodate the volume of customers it has and the current footprint doesn't allow for any expansion.

They have BPs for interior and exterior renovations. I assume they're bringing it up to the current standard (see Broadmead, Cook/Quadra, etc)

How is Hillside different from the other Thriftys' locations?

There's a rumour going around about a small urban-format Safeway store opening in the old post office space.
