Store Facts: Loblaws Heartland Mississauga ON

Welcome to another Store Facts Post! Today's store will be the Loblaws in Heartland Town Centre in Mississauga. This store opened sometime before June of 2003.

This store still has its Market signage intact, complete with old U-Scan Self Checkouts and old flooring. There's no map since I only been in here a few times. I may upload one in the future.
