Leaside is getting a new LCBO on April 26.
The store, in a neighbourhood the LCBO expects to grow by five per cent in the next decade, replaces an old Blockbuster next to Epi breads at the corner of Bayview and Millwood.
"Average household income for the trade area is approximately $162,000," says LCBO spokeswoman Linda Hapak. So one would expect more Hendrick’s, less Beefeater.
It’ll be a small store, with 2,500 square feet of selling area, a staff of 10, and three checkout lines serving an area the LCBO approximates to have 8,600 residents.
"In places with urban intensification and cities such as Toronto and Ottawa, we have developed market strategies and look for opportunities to address gaps in underserviced, mature urban markets with smaller stores," Hapak says.
