Loblaws Maple Leaf Garden store celebrates first anniversary

Loblaws store at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto is marking its first anniversary with a host of festivities running Nov. 30 to Dec. 2.

The piece de resistance is the President's Choice giant holiday gingerbread house that is almost the height of the store's well-known cheese wall and about half the length of the popular deli counter.

Decorated with 1,000 tiles of gingerbread and more than 200 pounds of colourful candy, said a release, it is  complete with Christmas trees, and fire place.

During the festivities, customers will be able to win prizes and interact with Loblaws food experts such as Mark Russell, executive chef at the store, during cooking demos.
