King City is getting its first
Shoppers Drug Mart this week.
The new store, a stand-alone building at 2136 King Road, will have 14,000 square feet on its main floor, and an upper floor with a medical clinic.
"We've been trying to work on this one for a while," says Shoppers spokeswoman Tammy Smitham. "We had to work very closely with the municipality to get it approved." The closest previous location of the aggressively expanding chain was in Oak Ridges. "It's a fair piece away," says Smitham.
The location will also house a post office, in addition to a cosmetics department and the usual food and lottery offerings.
