interesting... I thought they were going in across the street at Bay-Charles Towers? Didn't they apply for a building permit there? If not, I wonder what will take its place instead...

Aroma Espresso Bar is at the Bay-Charles Towers. Signs are already up.

Great news. They make a decent, non-greasy burger.

It looks as though Hunter's Landing will be opening on Monday in City Place (from the same folks who bring you William's Landing in Liberty Village)

Seems like it's been up in the air for far too long. Wasn't it around six or more months ago they announced a franchise to open there? There's so many buildings up for sale, they should have found a proper location by now. Maybe the old Slacks?

I'm really amazed Cactus Club in FCP hasn't opened yet. They've been working on that for months (I think eight or nine by now). Anyone heard what's going on there?

Same thing with that Tipsy McStaggers pub chain going into the Richmond Adelaide Centre across the street. They've been working on that since the beginning of the year.

You don't usually see New York Fries on the 'street', they usually stick to the malls.

I posted a message on their Facebook Timeline, and they said:

"Hey Khristopher, we actually do not have an exact location yet, but stay tuned and we will be sure to update you as soon as we do!"
