Everywhere you looked around the Metro we visited on the CPMA 2017 Retail tour in Etobicoke, you could see construction.
High rise condos surrounded the small footprint urban store, and the product assortment reflected the area.
1. Packaged produce was in abundance. The reefer case was probably double what I'd expect from a store this size.
2. What's up with the fun mushroom till colors? I've never seen red or orange before.
3.The wet rack had a decent assortment, on a smaller scale.
4. Can we step out of produce and talk about the cheese for a moment here. This cheese section was outrageous, and this matches what I'm hearing from retailers who cater to urban dwellers and younger clientele who splurge on fancy cheese.
