Co-op owned the land the previous Future Shop was located on, that's why there's the gas bar, c-store and liquor store there now.
I do find the decision to close the Mcleod Trail location odd since they're on the hook for the lease and likely still have 9 years left as they wouldn't have signed a lease for under 10 years, but they may have negotiated a go dark provision. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the other tenants in that strip and how it effects the vacant space.
