In today’s Connect FM episode, hosts Vijay Saini and Vasu Kumar discuss a major retail development in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside: London Drugs is closing its Woodward’s location effective February 1, 2026, citing ongoing safety incidents, vandalism, theft and unsustainable operating losses despite increased policing and security efforts. The decision reflects broader concerns about public safety, retail viability and neighbourhood challenges in one of Vancouver’s most complex urban areas. We’ll also cover local reactions, community impacts, and what this means for businesses and residents in the area.
