124th will probably ebb upwards as the area gets more people and densifies. VLW will probably give it a massive boost too probably.

I'd say 124 Street is on the upswing. It has attracted a lot of residential development the last few years. Edgar has created more than 25 retail spaces to be filled, which will take time but you already have things like KB&Co, Coffee Bureau plus everything in McLaren.

Its issue is weekday daytime traffic and workers in the area which are relatively low. It needs another commercial development, a hotel and about 500 new units in smaller-scale projects from 103-107ave.

Did Lloyd Sadd move away? Their website still shows 10240 124 Street as the Edmonton office.

I’m guessing the LRT construction is temporarily hampering some businesses.

When I worked at Western Cycle the area felt far more dead. I think we're forgetting how bad 124th used to be, and how laughable the idea of it being a mini Whyte was.
124th will have much better transit access than Whyte soon. I don't think that's something to be proud of, though.

Definitely needs a lot more density along it to help. The western edge drops off so quickly with the valley/groat, and low density neighborhoods. Wihkwentowin helps, but it’s got lots of stuff in all directions.When I worked at Western Cycle the area felt far more dead.

Ace Coffee Roasters, Green Onion Cake Man and Uncle Brian's Food Company closed by AHS inspectors
Three popular Edmonton establishments have been ordered to close locations after inspections by Alberta Health Services.

Fawkes is opening their new coffee shop on 104 St later this summer. They are just a pop-up shop for now.
These 3 places are now open or should open very soon:

Went to ORO and LOCO on Sat. Very much enjoyed it. Staff were great and attentive. Food was excellent. The room itself was open yet intimate. Starters mains and dessert plus 4-9oz glasses of wine came to just over 200.00
The Pizza bar was also quite busy and looked like the place to be. Very open and airy. Be interesting to see what they do at the other locations.

Definitely is NOT cheap but they are introducing a Late night HH, which my kid who works at Pyro said they "would never do."
Btw, I am a little miffed that she has to pay out 9.5% grat to the house, no matter what her sales are. So for example, if she grosses 15% on the shift, she only keeps 5.5%. Is that what the house gets now? When I ran restaurants back in the day - the house got 4% I think.

I did not know that. I take it they spread it around then.

While it's a bit on the higher side compared to other places, this is completely normal. For places like that, the average I would say is about 8-9%
When minimum wage went up, all restaurants recouped a large portion through tip out. Since 2019, tip outs have gone up between 50-100%
