Rockwood Foodland
And to think I thought that the Foodland in my hometown was small. This Foodland location in Rockwood, just outside of Guelph, is probably the smallest grocery store I have been to in over 10 years!
It's basically just a large convenience store with 5 aisles and 2 checkout lanes.
This store does have an LCBO convenience outlet, which is nice.
As for the future of this store, it doesn't have many more years left. Sobeys Inc. (Empire) wants to build a new store somewhere in the village of Rockwood. In 2020 the Township granted the Rockwood Foodland a 3 year exception to local bylaws to keep a series of shipping containers on site for extra storage. With this permission about to expire, Sobeys will need to build a new location soon.
Rumours in the town are that a new grocery store will be built across the street. Currently a large dirt pile sits on this lot, so we will see what happens.
