Here in Ottawa, Billings Bridge Plaza had 2 grocery stores in the mall: a Loblaws and a Steinberg. Loblaws bought all Steinberg stores in Ottawa in the early-90s. Loblaws then converted the Steinberg's to their Your Independent Grocer (YIG) banner, before closing the store in the late 1990s deciding...

I'm pretty sure that location has always been Dominion. Not to get too off topic, but the I do remember Miracle Mart banner was actually used around Ottawa by Steinberg's. However, in Ottawa these stores were general merchandise, low-end department stores, smaller than K-Mart, but bigger than Woolwo...

Re: 5915 Yonge, North York ON
http://groceteria.com/forboard/5915yonge.jpg I almost spit out my soda when I saw this amazing specimen. Based on the fact that it's now a Food Basics, I'd guess it was formerly a Dominion store, since it sure doesn't look like any A&P I've ever seen. However, I'm not all that familiar with the...
