  100%. I am in the industry and what’s interesting isn’t even how the big grocers prevent competition within the shopping centre, but how they register on title the exclusivity for any building they sell and vacate, preventing any competitor from ever going into a plaza they now longer operate in! It’s wild, and the exclusive covenants often cover things totally ancillary to the grocers’ main business. It also isn’t just grocers. Canadian Tire is a big offender too.
