In regards to fuse condos it really makes me angry since day one that the condos have been built they have been advertising that a metro would be coming into the community. They even had it drawn up in the condos rendering's and now to hear they are putting a food basics instead I find that very dishonest and deceitful. Metro would have been a great addition to the community they are known for their cleanliness, variety of selection, offering of different departments (bakery, fish meat) all which offer a superior product comparable to sobeys and loblaws. I think it would have been brought much more appeal to that up and coming community than a discount supermarket.

the only people who are really mad about food basics are landlords who are worried they wont be able to rip off people for overpriced cracker box apartments anymore.

The discount grocer FreshCo is just a block away. There is no need for two discount grocers. as Metro would provide the fresh bakery and deli that neither FreshCo or Food Basics offer.

Part of my decision to buy in the area was based on the promise that there would be a metro near me.

As a 6 year tenant in the Standard lofts across from this new building I was personally looking forward to a more modern shopping experience. This corner is in much need of something modern. There are enough lower priced shopping options not even a block away. When do we rename this Discount and Lansdowne corner?

BRING BACK METRO I MOVED TO THIS AREA WITH THE PROMISE OF KNOWING A GOOD GROCERY STORE WAS COMING TO THIS UP AND COMING AREA. FOOD BASICS WOULD BE A MAJOR STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND WOULD ONLY BRING THE KIND OF PEOPLE BACK TO THIS FLOURISHING PART OF OUR CITY!!

This neighbourhood doesn't need another depressing, understaffed, windowless, bargain basement supermarket. You're going to force all those young, health-conscious Fuse residents to take their money to the new Organic Garage instead. Dumb decision, Metro Inc.

Buyers should expect to get what the condo owners advertise and promise.

That neighbourhood deserves a Metro. If they want a cheap, dirty, low budget grocery store they have price choppers/freshco four blocks down at the galleria mall. #keepmetro

If you don't like Food Basics you always come to No Frills at 1435 King St W. Our lower food prices won't be beat!!

Potential buyers & actual condo owners were lured into the neighbourhood partly because of the (now) falsely advertised, higher-end Metro. We do not need another lower-end grocery store. With more and more condominium units coming up, the community demands the Metro they were promised.
