Loblaws has agreed to open a large supermarket on the second floor of the condominium now being planned by Tribute Communities at College Street and Spadina Avenue. This spot is cheek by jowl with Kensington Market. The store is said to be planned at 20,000 square feet. This would be a second upstairs store in a condo for Loblaws. South Bayview watchers will know of the large store planned at the Madison on Eglinton Ave. E. between between Dunfield Ave. and Lillian Street. The announcement of the Loblaws in Kensington will bring a furore over the character of the neighborhood. In recent months the residents, led by Adam Vaughan (Ward 20) were successful is killing a Walmart store planned for the area. Mr. Vaughan told the Globe and Mail tonight that he is wary of the development adding “Keningston needs help.” This may be true, but Kensington also needs better hygiene. Higher property values and a measure of gentrification would ensure that but many prefer the sub-granola quality of the area as it is. Globe and Mail
