...or Tony, I had to pack a lunch for the trip down to his place I can totally understand his concerns and desire for a south store.

That's pretty funny Sure, on a "good" traffic day it's not so bad. But it can be a nightmare on a not-so-good day.

Um .. If by "Acadia" you mean "Forest Lawn" then, sure.

I'm not saying it's impossible to get to the north stores if you live in the south. But it's definitely a time commitment. A store in the south end would be welcome by many I think. It's an unserved market niche, I really think do think a store that's say about as south as Chinook Centre or maybe even down to 90th Av or so would *totally* have a captured market. There have been rumours of a new south store, like Greg hinted at, but those rumours have been around for months now (since at least January).. If and when it happens that someone opens the store, there will probably be a lot of interested customers. Time will tell I guess.

I live in the NW and regularly drive down to Gold's to pick some items up. It seems to be the median for people that live in the North and South (around the Acadia area).

With the way the city is spreading Deer Run is almost central
