I'm a little alarmed by Loblaw's move to purchase T&T, the Asian food supermarket chain with a great location by the docks. I can't see Loblaws keeping T&T's as is, which is an incredibly cheap, accessible and quirky place where one can marvel at the size of King Crabs in the tank, eat dim sum in the 'food court' and buy any number of ingredients that are typically only found in Chinatown. Part of the charm of T&T is that it is a chain, but doesn't really feel like a chain - it still feels like a distinct shopping experience. I'd hate to see Loblaws tinker with this winning formula.
