^ Not at all. Developers do need to decide on a direction for their lease-ups (you should know because Beljan has always had a good handle on this) whereby they focus on a market direction. So many podium retail components of high-rise developments on the other hand are just raw spaces often not even serviced for a retail or hospitality client. ICE district is a good example of a bad example of this -- banks taking key lease spaces next to what I would call "impulse hospitality" and retail hardly has a chance in that milieu. So often developers try to sell foot-traffic as opposed to theme scenarios not cognizant that theme character impels foot traffic not the other way around.

Nope, not Canadian - US based but employees Canadian citizens - 10X better than Jerrod's favorite subs.

What was the name of submarine chain HQ in Edmonton? Mr. Sub or something else ... not sure if it exists any more?

Not sure if YEG had a sandwich HO, but if we do, it’d be Mr.Sub…..only national sandwich chain this country produced. Remember we had a Blimpie at one time? In the SBUX on 104th by the Sync apartment building - early 2000’s….didnt last long.

There was Badass Jacks which at one time was expanding quite quickly. I think it's down to one location now, and they don't seem to have a website.

Sorry to see it go, I liked the store. Its just that it got into much higher end products. Loved when it was Campers village.

It seems to be the fate of so many long established retailers, somehow they get sucked into selling to much high end high margin products, but realize too late that most of their customers don't want or can't afford that.

Another one I liked. I think the only location is just of 170st.

14 new schools to be announced for the Edmonton area. Planning not building. But if they go out all together there will be a lot of small players in this. so some that shouldn't be going after them will.

^north of 118ave 97 st is a 7 lane behemoth of a stroad. who would opt to live right beside it? I think between 118 and the yellow head should be retail and services with people living a block away from all the traffic. of course it isn't up to me.

I thought it was 9 lanes before the bridge under CN rail.
