Letters: Rebuilding Steveston's Super Grocer not in the cards

A Richmond News reader thinks rebuilding an iconic local grocer lost to a fire may be more complicated than expected.

Steveston's iconic Super Grocer & Pharmacy was demolished on Wednesday after it burned down in a fire.

Dear Editor,

Re: "Video: Steveston Super Grocer demolished after devastating fire"

I don’t think rebuilding a stand-alone grocery store is in the cards. 

A mixed-use venture similar to the Roderick would make more sense from a development standpoint. 

Anyway, whatever happens, it will be a fenced-off lot for several years until the money issues get sorted out. Ron Simpson Steveston
