The Sobeys store at Varsity Common in Saskatoon is undergoing a "refresh." This store is not the oldest in Saskatoon, so it was interesting to see. Here is a picture of the store's original main entrance.
Since the acquisition of Canada Safeway by Sobeys in 2013, the existing Safeway stores have gone in a new direction. With a new store opening to replace an existing one at the Lawson Heights Mall, this will remain the most outdated location.
There has been talk about updating this location for years, but that has yet to occur.

This is a Sobeys Stores100th anniversary pedal car. It was won at one of there stores and I purchased it from the winner to add to our collection.
In 2013, Sobeys agreed to acquire Canada Safeway. In order for the takeover to proceed, the Competition Bureau of Canada ordered that Sobeys sell 23 stores, including both Sobeys and Safeway banner stores. Out of these 23, one Safeway store at The Centre was on that list. On May 12, 2014, the Safeway store closed and the transformation into a Saskatoon Co-op store began, as Federated Cooperatives Ltd. acquired the store in Saskatoon.
The store re-opened as a Co-op store on May 14. The store initially closed as a Safeway store on May 12, 2014. Within 36 hours, a transformation was given... but most items are still in their original places.
This store is located at 3310 8th Street East and is located not far from existent store in Greystone Heights located at 2507 8th Street East. It was recently announced that the older store will close.

friday i purposefully gave myself a small shipping list so i could be done early. i hadn't quite specifically asked to leave early, i had to wait to see if it was feasible first. the whole day went so easy, so smooth. wes & maggie were in town, and it looked like i would be finished with just enough time to meet them. i knew the pier they were at, so finding them would be relatively easy. he had to take the can to bedford, which that pier closed at 5. just as wes called me to say "ok come meet me, like, right now", shit hit the fan at work. exploded everywhere.
i couldn't leave. he couldn't wait.
one simple mistake is all it was. one simple mistake i didn't make, but i should have caught. i should have seen it. when trouble started brewing an hour earlier, i should have looked closer.
i finally got out just after 5. i called wes anyway, just in case he was able to come back. it would have added an extra hour of driving time, so it was totally out of the question. those big trucks burn a lot of gas.
wes made a couple of calls to see if anyone was in my area. by the time i got home, it appeared to be hopeless.
i was defeated. the weight of every terrible thing that happened at work for the whole week came crashing down on me. i just sort of curled up on my bed and shut down.
i wallowed for about half an hour then i kicked myself in the ass and said WTF ARE YOU DOING! GET ON TOP OF THIS SHIT! there's a goddamn shitshow to attend!
so i came up with a plan! what seemed to be my only hope..
alex & nancy were leaving pei late. it was out of the question to drive all the way into halifax, that would just be ridiculous at the hour they'd be going by. BUT! what if i went to lower sackville, which i could get to just off the main highway. it would add maybe 5 minutes. IF my mapping was right, which, it very well could have been way off.
so i called to see. which is a damn good thing cause alex had left a message with wes with a phone number for me. leo (traveling with alex & nancy) had a friend in halifax who was coming, too. they weren't sure if she was still in town or not, but knew she'd be leaving late. so i called.
no answer.
but.. just as i was leaving a frantic message, she called me BACK! after a bit of confusion, it all got sorted out and we got in contact with each other. she was in dartmouth, JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE and would LOVE the company. she said she was quite happy with coming into halifax to get me.
so by about 7:45 or so, there was a car waiting for me outside.
she's not familiar with driving in halifax, neither was i. a few turns we shouldn't have made, a stop at the liquor store for some stock, and a drive right into bedford, we decided to stop for some directions. we were indeed on the right track, but there was probably a better way that we missed way back...
we got there after 9 to a fire in the stove, and lovely people gathered around. many hijinx, including: "brownies", and climbing a tree house and sitting on the deck of it, staying up till 5, hardly sleeping, and almost missing breakfast.
then... neil young...

In 2014, as a condition of Sobeys purchasing Canada Safeway, Sobeys was required to sell 23 stores across Canada (a mixture of Sobeys's stores and Safeway stores) to competitors. In Saskatoon, the Safeway store located at 3310 8th Street East was ordered to be sold, and was eventually sold to Federated Co-operatives Ltd., which operates Saskatoon Co-op stores. This store, however, is located at 2510 8th Street East, and will close June 14, 2014. This store has gone through numerous outside cosmetic changes over the years. The store is leased and the stores attached to the Co-op store will remain open when the Co-op store closes. The board decided to close this store because it was not economically feasible to upgrade the store to them. A store across town located on 33rd Street West is currently undergoing renovations and the west entrance is already largely demolished, and I will take picture(s) of those doors soon, if they still remain in their present position when I drop by.

This is now my almost-instant pasta of choice for times when I'm hungry and need something tasty - and soon!
Pepper cream, basil pesto, olive paté, sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, all tossed with whole-wheat pasta. Then topped with shredded parmesan and ground pepper. The pepper cream and olive paté were something I recently found at Sobey's.
The Parkland Mall in Yorkton has a pretty high rate of vacancies, and I can't imagine the closure of Sobeys doing any good for the mall's vacancy rate.

The Varsity Common Sobeys store in Saskatoon has this extra-long set of automatic sliding doors. This store has been open since 2002, and nearly ten years later, I still question the need for these doors. Why can't they match the other three sets of doors that are in use? The only cool thing about this set of doors is that the decals are still there and show no signs of deterioration.

Canadian Tire's Confederation store in Saskatoon's signs were finally removed this week, after moving out and then into a building across the street that was once occupied by Walmart, which moved out to the Blairmore Suburban Centre as a Walmart Supercentre. In this photo, it looks as if everything has been abandoned, but that's not true. To the right, there's a building that looks like it has been abandoned, but the store is still open (it's a Mac's convenience store). To the left, there's Fabricland, Ultracuts, Your Dollar Store with More and Blockbuster (yes, the store is still open and shows no signs of closing).
As for the Canadian Tire store, which was there for a very long time (renovated and expanded in 2001... you used to be able to drive straight past the store when entering the property, where other stores were revealed) prior to moving out, it is being redeveloped into smaller stores. Rumours include Sobeys, London Drugs and others.

PCs pledge to scrap NDP’s job-killing First Contract Arbitration
Baillie: time to create jobs, not chase them away
September 25, 2013
For immediate release
HALIFAX, NS – A Progressive Conservative government will scrap the NDP’s job-killing First Contract Arbitration law. The Liberals will not.
Progressive Conservative leader Jamie Baillie renewed his commitment to scrap the NDP’s unfair labour legislation outside Egg Films, a Halifax film production company.
First Contract Arbitration is an anti-employer law passed by the NDP that lets an arbitrator appointed by the government impose a collective agreement on a newly unionized employer, even if the company cannot afford it. The legislation has been called “anti-business” and “totally unnecessary.”
“A PC government is focused on helping small business create jobs. This law chases employers away by giving a third party the power to tell them how to run their business,” Baillie said.
The McNeil Liberals won’t repeal the one-sided labour law. The Liberals also won’t lower taxes or freeze power rates to help small businesses get ahead.
Last week, the Nova Scotia Labour Board used this law to impose an expensive first contract on Egg Films. The small, independent film company in Halifax was recently unionized by film and theatre union IATSE, Local 849. The company was ordered to pay its freelance crew wages that even exceeded wage rates in Toronto for similar work.
“This law makes it difficult for us to operate in Nova Scotia,” said Mike Hachey, co-owner of Egg Films. “It allows a union to present a wage proposal that it knows the employer can't afford or accept so that they can ask for an agreement to be imposed. That's what happened to us.”
Baillie noted that Egg employs creative, highly skilled people who should be encouraged to stay to build a life in our province, not driven away.
During review of first contract at the Legislature’s Law Amendments Committee, major employers such as Michelin, Sobeys and Clearwater joined in opposition to the law, arguing it created an economic disincentive to invest in the province.
A PC government will help small businesses prosper and create jobs by creating a tax-free zone for small businesses and freezing power rates.

Basically a hard salami you can slice and place on fruit / cheese trays or serve with antipasto. My demo for May 26, 2012.
Quick and easy to prepare, great as an appetizer or cooked on the BBQ. Excellent with wine or beer. Many are covered with a coating like parmesan, herbs or black pepper.
