HiWay Market, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada was established in the 1950s in what was then deemed the outskirts of Kitchener, called "Centreville". Ostensibly this was done to escape the Kitchener by-law that prohibited late-night shopping.
The proprietor, Ralph Kraft, originally had a grocery store "Central Market" or something (not to be confused with the current " Central Fresh Market" still in Kitchener)
He built the "Hiway Market." The place was basically ahead of its time; it was a department store that it sold everything, the Costco of its era.
Eventually Kraft sold the business to Dominion Stores. Dominion Stores was connected to Conrad Black and his companies. Black took "possession" of the Dominion stores employees pension plan funds and converted them to his own use. The unionized employees had to go to court to get their funds back; after some years , they succeeded.
Dominion Stores decided to close the HiWay Market. The site was redeveloped as a strip mall, but some related departments (suc a HiWay Flowers) continued.
