Could be Benson Industries. They are pretty huge but do very little to end consumer. They ship multi family packages all over the west.

This is new at Fisherman's Wharf.

 

A good idea really, the place could use more than just food outlets.

Was there last night and didn't even see it, guess I was too busy watching Sammy.

That Rock n Rolls sushi place is fairly new too, but 95% still seem to just go to Barb's (which has no evidence of any fire).

With new news of Gap closing 175 stores, will we see a high profile vacancy on Government st?

All we need now are a few medi clinics like they have on Venice Beach and the loop will be closed.

From what I hear, anyone who wants a prescription can easily get one now which is probably why we have 18/19 shops to sell it to you. I guess this is a back door into legalizing and taxing pot so the question then is whether this is having the predicted impact on street prices or demand?

An overwhelming majority of Office Depot, Inc. shareholders have approved the company's takeover by Staples, Inc . 

 

 . Nearly 99.5% of the shareholders were in favor of the acquisition by Staples at Office Depot's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on Jun 19.

Office Depot is likely to release the final ballot count on Jun 22 through a regulatory filing. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval. Staples and Office Depot have been working in tandem with the U.S authorities and Staples already has obtained the debt to finance the $6.3 billion transaction.

The former home of Tony's old time photo studio in the Harbour Square Mall on Broughton is now a horror escape attraction:

On the Yates Street frontage or the courtyard?

Both, the historic Yates St. frontage and the entire courtyard. There was no indication of walls being built to divide up the space. Looked like the walls were forming out one big space.

I heard it might be a local bakery opening another location. It was just a passing comment so I might be wrong...
