Still not enough buying power!

We already have 4 major electronics stores!
Winners is Marshall's .
Sobey will never give up the space beside Canadian Tire, they do not want a competitor moving in there.
The old Kmart location is being filled with businesses.
We have many ethnic eateries andmore coming.
Lonon Drugs does not have anything that Shoppers Drug Mart already has.
There must be at least 20 or more phamacies.
Just patronize what we do get here so that they will not give up and move out.
The bottom line is they have to make money to survive, they are not going to stay open just to please a few people. "
With a population around 50,000 and a trading area of maybe two or three times that (Correct me if I'm wrong), you have to understand we don't make enough economic impact to attract anything else with the competition from existing businesses. I agree London Drugs would eat Shoppers Drug Mart's breakfast here if they opened a store, but the numbers don't indicate "opportunity" to any head office. With the numbers of Amazon and Wayfair customers locally I'm amazed we still have local businesses operating. I worked post office in the past by the way. And do we need to reopen the Costco discussion? I'm not holding my breath on that either.
