Good news is the store opening in Saskatoon.

Bad news is the location - 105 Avenue F South.

Whomever scouted this location must not be familiar with the area. I am assuming the previous tenant, Giant Tiger, didn't close up shop because of poor sales.
 
The last time i was in that Giant Tiger, i got out as several police cruisers rolled in for a disturbance.:rolleyes: I rarely go downtown anymore unless it's for eye specialist in the midtown center.

Pretty much the same except I go to the tower for dental appointments.

Just read a story about a local citizen who is fed-up with watching people walk out of grocery stores loaded up with stolen items and nobody tries to stop them. Can happen anywhere but where KMS plans on setting-up shop is pretty much begging for a daily dose of that kind of trouble and more.

The north end business area would have been the obvious choice. On the surface it makes no sense. Maybe they are getting a sweetheart deal on the lease?

Might also be counter sales only.

I was thinking the same. On their website they are hiring for all positions including sales associates and sales desk. I assume associates work the floor where items are on display but not necessarily.

I would like to see KMS succeed so hopefully they will have a plan for dealing with the troublemakers.

SOWA is 95% counter order. Most display items are behind glass. Spaenour is similar. Yes still retail sales but you aren't browsing aisles of "pick your own"
