Grocery shopping for the truly upscale

Article Abstract:

Overwaitea Food Group opened a branch of its upscale grocery stores, Urban Fare, in Yaletown, British Columbia, on Aug 15, 1999. This location was chosen because of its residents who are mainly affluent, higher-educated singles and couples whose lifestyles fit the non-traditional market served by Urban Fare. Yaletown's UrbanFare is the first grocery story of its kind to be built in Western Canada.

Outdoor ads even Vancourver can live with

Article Abstract:

Norm Vallicano of Viacom Outdoor Canada has begun an idea that could result in more outdoor billboards in the Vancouver area, a place that traditionally has been removing billboards.
