East enders won’t have to go into Timmins to shop for groceries much longer. The mayor’s office has announced that a Food Basics store will open in the Porcupine Mall later this year.
Metro Ontario owns Food Basics and the mall. Mayor George Pirie says the company is investing $3-million into the new store.
It’s also donating $2,500 to the South Porcupine Food Bank, and will continue to work with it during recovery from last week’s fire.
Here is a link to the South Porcupine Food Bank’s website.
The Metro store closed two years ago this summer.
