A five year old article about the 7-11 on Wiliam closing due to a sharp increase of thefts committed by 9 and 10 year olds. Nobody has moved in to the building since, I drive past every day. Just boards over windows of a gutted building. I've accepted that an arsonist will likely burn it down before another business moves in.

 

Makes me sad 😔 imagine not having a sev nearby as a kid. Partially dethawed freezies in a cup will be a poor substitute

Is that the one on the corner of princess and Willam?

it's the one that was near Chicken Delight right? it was still open I think before COVID

Yep that's the one, they closed for good in November 2019, it's a shame but I can hardly blame them.

There is one convenience store I pass often, Westhome Foods on Wellington Ave just East of Arlington, they had their windows smashed two or three times this summer before finally installing metal shutters. Many corner stores must lock their doors and force customers to buzz in. Rough out here for people selling chips and cigarettes. Angry health-nuts are surely to blame!

Kildonan Place is getting the same way sadly.   Gun violence,  druggies leaving needles in the family bathroom,   lots of homeless drunks pestering people,  kids getting jumped...  it wasn't like that 20 years ago (despite JCON insisting it was).

Speaking of KP they are taking forever moving the food section closer to theatre.

Click for bigger image. Makes sense that they completely take out old theatre.

The plan wasn't to move the food court to be closer to the new theatre.  The plan was to expand it north/northwest, using the space from the old theatre.

In this picture, green is the existing layout and pink is the proposed layout (the old theatre is essentially under the "C" in Food Court.

Nope! Pink is the existing.

Rumours are circle K is looking to purchase 711 and turn them into circle Ks. The one on watt is boarded up. The one on Talbot I haven’t driven by in a long time so no idea. 

There was an offer a few weeks ago that was turned down.

I heard about it on Sirius XM and thought it was interesting.  The show I was listening to is based in New York and they mentioned that many 7-11's in the area had been closing the last few years so it's not just a Winnipeg thing.

I bet they take another run at it.
