In Moncton, maybe one of the Sobeys near Champlain place could be flipped? That would give an illusion of choice in the area, instead of people constantly wondering "Why are there 2 Sobeys across the street from eachother?".
A Magnetic Hill area grocery store is certainly overdue.

The North End of Saint John would be a good candidate, replacing the existing, very dated Sobeys at Lansdowne and well-suited to the demographics of the local area. I won't hold my breath, though.
