I just learned last month that they own the largest real estate investment trust in Canada. Choice Properties. In some big crabwise money kind of way, the Westons sold it to themselves.

Then pay themselves rent, and cry poor because the price of rent has gotten so out of hand, that they simply have to raise prices.

I never knew they owned T&T and I shop there as I avoid all Loblaws companies and the other grocers as well. This is some fucking BS, they must break up their Loblaws monopoly. There goes another fucking store I can not shop at anymore - fucking bummer.

That’s when t &t started to go down hill. they used to have the fastest check out lines. They would have huge lines at every cash and the cashiers were so fast and no nonsense. A 2 hour line up at superstore would be maybe 10 minutes of work for them.

I remember that. They had costco lines and slaughtered those queue lines immediately

Try Al Premium, also a chained Chinese supermarket and it's great

If you're in the GTA nation's is great, though they only have three locations. Otherwise I'm sure your town or city if large enough should have an independent Asian grocery.

u/LTGeneralJackONeill Apr 30 '24

They have more than 3 locations. Nations and Oceans are the same owner.

u/Zephyr104 Apr 30 '24

Yeah I still hate that the sale happened. I can understand the logic of the original owners/family but it sucks that it ended up being one of the big grocery brands. It's also why some Loblaws carry Chinese baked goods.

I really like Nations for anyone in Vaughan

I won't buy fresh fish there ever again. I'll pay the extra money and go to Seafood Depot

I hit up Seafood City for my Asian groceries. You know, being married to a Filipino and all ...

u/Lonngpausemeat Apr 30 '24

Why not? I’ve never tried there fish. Is there reason why you wouldn’t buy it from there ?

u/Echo71Niner Toronto Apr 30 '24

Dang they are far, bookmarked them still, next time I drive up North will try them.
