Freshil is opening next to Little Caesars in the fall, it's a 'healthy' fast casual restaurant.

Looks like Tweed will be setting up shop in the former Cellar location on Water Street, on the corner with Clifts-Bairds Cove across from the court house.

Also, site development is in full swing for the production facility on Eastland Cres, off East White Hills Road.

Was just up at Capital Hyundai on Kenmount Road and discovered they are gonna be building a new brand new and much larger dealership on the other side Kia where they currently store their extra vehicle stock. I wonder if the old dealership will become a Genesis franchise?

Tweed is also opening up on Kenmount Road behind Merlo's Inferno.

As of right now I do not believe there are any tenants. Though I wouldn't get the information until afterwards anyways (on contractor side of things).

Was just driving home from work and noticed that the Ultramar gas station on Higgins Line across from the Super 8 is now an Irving station with a Circke K store. Temporary banners are in place right over the Ultramar signs.

Sox · #**1630** Posted **Aug 13, 2018, 11:01 AM**

Same as the Ultramar across from the Delta ! It is also now an Irving
I'm hearing that Irving has taken over a bunch ( but not all ) of the Ultramar's around town.
I think the independantly owned ones will remain as Ultramar.

CBSNewbie · #**1631** Posted **Aug 13, 2018, 8:48 PM**

The Ultramar in Long Pond CBS is now an Irving as well.

Arrakis · #**1632** Posted **Aug 14, 2018, 5:53 AM**

Here’s the full story of the Irving purchase of Ultramar stations in NL.

I'm really surprised to see Ultramar on Commonwealth on the list to become an Irving since there is one already almost right next to it! I've never seen the same gas station within eyesight of itself before... weird. Maybe they will close the existing one?

goodgrowth · #**1634** Posted **Aug 14, 2018, 12:43 PM**

If this is the case then that rumour about the gas station going in the new Paradise shopping centre being an Irving is probably true..

Chew · #**1635** Posted **Aug 14, 2018, 1:36 PM**

Paradise doesn't have Shell or Canadian Tire gas, but the way things are going with Irivings, since they only have one in that area, that is a bit low lol

Kessel Run · #**1636** Posted **Aug 19, 2018, 1:56 PM**

Wasn't it in the town council minutes that A&W was being built at the corner of Trails End and Topsail? There isnt much room for both North Atlantic and A&W at that site, and it also isn't an Orange Store. I could see the gas station closing and moving to the new Paradise Plaza, especially with all their recent expansions.

According to the council minutes it's an extension to the North Atlantic. Not much room there at all but I'm guessing they will just get rid of the car wash and maybe add a few feet..
