Mini tour: Walmart Heartland Town Centre-Mississauga

Today's post is my first to feature pictures of a store. I did a mini tour around the renovated Clothing department in the Heartland Walmart Supercentre.
Here's a streetview of the store.

Store description

This store opened in the mid 2000s with pre-impact and got a decor swap to 2nd gen Project Impact in 2011ish. The store features the market section on the left instead of the right side. The pharmacy is also in the middle, typical of early impact stores.
This store recently got a remodel to the clothing department with new signs, fixtures and spotlights. They also have newer self checkouts and a PickUp tower at the front. However, the rest of the store still has Project Imapct Signs.

This store has a pharmacy in the middle and a old original sign featuring the old Wal*Mart logo.

Remodeled clothing department

The last bit of this post features photos of the remodeled clothing department. Sorry about the bad quality.

 Here's an example of new department signage for the clothing eepartment. Stores remodeled in 2019 and onwards have their clothing sections remodeled with this signage.
Another view of the clothing section. My phone takes bad photos in bright light😣.
View of a typical Project Impact secondary sign fot the price scanners, which were mostly updated to the new touchscreen ones.

I hope you enjoyed this post about the remodeled clothing department at the Heartland Walmart.

Until next post, DZ

Lost Retail: The history of Knob Hill Farms

A picture of a Knob Hill basket. Credit: Wikipedia For today’s lost retail post I’ll be talking about an old, local chain of grocery stores called Knob Hill Farms. Knob Hill Farms was a chain of 10 warehouse-like “food terminals” in the Toronto area. These stores were pretty large for a supermarket at the time they operated ranging from 65,000 sqft to a gigantic 335,000 sqft. Due to financial issues, Knob Hill Farms closed/sold all their stores in 2000. History Knob Hill Farms was founded in 1954 by Steve Stavro as a more conventional grocery chain operating 9 markets in Toronto. It wasn’t until 1963 that Stravro opened his first 65,000 sqft “food terminal” in Markham. In 1971, Knob Hill Farms expanded into Pickering with its second terminal. Knob Hill Farms than opened their first Toronto store  in 1975 and second Toronto terminal opened in 1977. Their fifth store, which was billed as the largest food store in North America at the time, opened in 1978 in Mississauga....

Lowe’s stores in Canada begin re-brand to Rona+

As you might know already, Lowe’s sold their Canadian division to a private equity company, Sycamore Partners, earlier this year. Rona then announced that the Lowe's stores will be gradually re-branded as Rona+. These conversions started at the end of July with 10 stores in Ontario. So far all they did was replace all the Lowe’s logos with Rona+ logos with the Lowe's decor remaining intact. What’s interesting about Rona+ is that some Lowe’s stores were converted from larger Rona stores. So in a way, this will go full circle at some locations. Hopefully this will be successful for Rona. Until the next post (hopefully it won’t be another 2 years), Dom
