Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the new Longos near the Air Canada Centre. That’s right, a 45,000 square foot grocery store is right in the smack of downtown Toronto.
The first thing that you notice is that the place is buzzing with staff, with customers, with suppliers, with head office “suits”, etc. The second thing you notice is that there is prepared foods EVERYWHERE.
If I worked near by, I would be buying my salad there everyday.
Healthy Lunch Options.
I would hang out by the fire, on the leather couches, enjoying free wi-fi and a coffee.
A perfect place to drink coffee.
I would even consider having a beer or a glass of wine at the bar.
Wine or Beer is served at Corks.
They have thought of everything!! I was so impressed.
Naturally I bought some beautiful kumquats and some other items so I could take advantage of the free parking if you purchase $30 0r more. Hey Longos…my pleasure to buy some groceries there. The produce was beautiful.
I will end this blog entry by saying “congratulations” to Longos for building a grocery store that will really appeal to the residents who live in condos nearby and to those office workers who work downtown.
Not to mention the fans who go to the ACC for hockey games or to concerts will also love Longos.
You won’t be disappointed.
Happy Grocery Shopping.
