This will effectively nullify the last small food desert in Calgary's inner city.

Will that be in the new Concord Building?
On Hull Island, which turns out is served by a few, very small, specialty grocery stores (so not a complete food desert as I thought before) should be getting two new grocery stores within the next 5 years.
There's the W/E II on Eddy and Wellington, which should be getting a Metro (no official announcement on the chain, but Metro appears on the renderings).

Zibi will include a grocery store at the base of a new office building, corner of Laval/Jos Montferrand and Laurier. No word on type of grocery store yet however, it's only a few blocks from the W/E II, so I'm hoping it's not another big chain. I'm hoping to see a zero waste grocery store taking over the space, possibly Nu which is Ottawa based and has two locations in on urban main streets at the moment. It would be a great fit with Zibi and it's strong sustainability goals.
