Walls of cheese, salume, and cupcakes: Report on Loblaws @ Maple Leaf Gardens
See my first post here
The reaction (amongst anyone I have asked) to Loblaws placing their banner over the old mecca of hockey, Maple Leaf Gardens, is mixed. From the extreme hockey fanatic on one end to the grocery devoted on the other (that's me!). For example,
"I just can't do it. It would break my heart to go there and see Loblaws on the Gardens."
"Cool!"
"I hear there's a wall of cheese. Many people I know went to see it."
"Maybe I'll check it out"
"When's Ryerson opening?"
I went to check out Loblaws @ 830am, the day after the grand opening. It was lonely in there. At that time of the day, with no free giveaways, the staff to customer ratio was about 40:1. Perfect to take a good look at the displays, not so perfect to not be noticed snapping pictures.
Initial impression: Grab a "map" and be amazed. I was like a big kid in a giant candy store. There's a set of escalators that take you to the LCBO on site, Loblaws Cooking School, and a Joe Fresh department.
