I can't believe that some RTH readers would actually suggest that downtown doesn't need a supermarket; people will argue about absolutely anything.

I'm not sure that anyone is suggesting that. What some of us are saying is that downtown is not a "food desert", given that Food Basics and No Frills are in the eastern part of downtown, that there are small markets and a farmers market downtown and a Fortinos at King & Dundurn.

But, yes, an urban supermarket which is more general than Denningers and less unpleasant than No Frills would be very welcome (except perhaps by the market owners and FM vendors).

And a co-op might be nice.

But we don't need to fix a "food desert" problem which does not exist. Which is not the point of the co-op, as far as their web site goes. It's just something that Ryan brought up (much to my surprise).
