I think you answered this yourself H&L.... that demographic is price sensitive and will got to the local WalMart or Superstore before the perceived high prices of a London Drugs. Those suburbs are probably younger too, and likely use Amazon / online heavily.
Couple that with rent rates signed in better times - no point in LD burning cash.
It's a shame, every time I'm at London Drugs, I always say to myself, "there's a lot here - I should support this Canadian business more".
