16--The canadian Champion, Tuesday. Februarv 18, 2003~ Superchoice shoppers upset by dlosure news 9 from ANOTHER on page 1 Milton is left with two pnimary grOcery stores, Loblaws on Nipissing Road, and A&P at Laurier Avenue and Ontario Street South. It's the second turne in three months Milton is losing an independently-owned grocery store. Quality Greens, another well-thought of business, closed its Main Street doors in November. Shoppers, streamning in and out of Superehoice Friday aftemnoon, were upset by the closure news, with some pomnting out the lots of these kinds of businesses erode Milton's small-town appeal. "(The possible closure) really bothers me because the people are friendly, approach- able," said Kathy Stephenson. -l think we're going to lose a lot of Our small-town flavour." Gloria Sheppard said the bass of Quality Greens and the imminent demise of Superehoice leaves consumera with little chance to price shop. Loblaws, for example, serves a need for higher-end products, she said, but places like Superchoice provided anme of the dis- counted items a number of Milton familles search for. "I'm reaily going to miss the store," she said. Milton Mayor Gord Krantz said he's heard rumblings that Superchoice was going to close. He said it's a private enter- prise and there's Uite the Town can do 10 keep it open. He said he shops there anmetimes, not- ing he visited a couple of weeks ago to pick up fruit and vegetables. He doesn't buy the theory the closure of these kinds of busmnesses tarnish Milton's small-town lustre. The real issue, he said, is a major busi- ness is closing shop. "That's where my bigger concem is." The 16,OO-square-foot store, located at Ontario Street and Denry Road, opened in 1982.
