no sweat, and yeah it's a pretty crappy store, though i'm glad it's relocating rather than closing, and i'm hopeful that having a new, bigger place will bring improvements.

Hopefully the proprietor(s) of this convenience store will use the relocation as an opportunity to upgrade.
I assume- and I hope- this is a sign that Pyramid will soon move forward with redevelopment of St. Louis Centre. Work at The Laurel (former Stix Baer & Fuller/Dillard's) seems to be moving forward slowly but surely, so it would sure be nice to finally see some tangible progress with what's arguably downtown's worst eyesore.

While not as good as a donut shop like The Donut Stop (Lemay and Telegraph), Dunkin is infinitely better than Krispy Kreme, which I hesitate to even call a donut.
Apparently you prefer "cake" donuts over the real thing. Krispy Kremes are the real thing and are infinitely better than any cake donut.

The Donut Stop makes cake donuts. They also make numerous other varieties. So apparently, you are wrong.
Blueberry Cake donuts at Donut Drive In are the best.

^ Oh, great. After I realized what business was moving in, I was afraid of that. 
Lots of big bags of chips -- why would I ever stop by there to get a big bag of chips during work?
If I lived downtown, why wouldn't I go to City Grocers where I could also pick up something else?
