BTW, I was working on improving navigation of yellow-pages, classifieds etc and found this interesting result, so thought let me share with you guys.

Etobicoke is blank and only one in Richmond Hill- interesting
I was under impression that Ajax/Pickering do not have any grocery stores. But they do!!

Etobicoke do have quite a few stores - mostly concentrated in one area as per http://www.canadiandesi.com/maplistings.php?type=shop&CID=1&country=Canada&level1=1&province=Ontario&level2=18&city=Etobicoke&metro=&level3=

The results are a bit flawed.
I live in Etobicoke and near the lake (Near Hwy. 427 and the lake). When i see the map, I see a store near the lake. When i saw the name of the store, I find it to be West Indian Store. We donot get Indian products in a West Indian Store. A sri Lankan store is more Indian SInce we get Groceries, Masala's , fish, Tamil and possibly Indian movies. A Sri Lankan store (Gajanth Groceries) is in Jane and Lawrence. In the same spot is a Gujarathi shop known as Ganesh stores dispensing Groceries and Bolly wood movies. Just near this is Asian foods, A Banagaladeshi store dispensing Indian groceries and Bollywood movies. All the 3 stores are missing from your list. These are just the stores that i know and use in that area.
To conclude, your map is not an exaustive list of stores present in that area.

We never said it is a comprehensive list. We have yellow-pages and businesses are listed by users. There might be many more businesses missing. You may talk to the business owner that his/her business is missing in the 170+ indian grocery store listings from GTA on CanadianDesi. Alternatively some listed businesses might be out of business and they do not bother to inform. I will add a functionality that allows user to report a non-functioning business listing.
I agree, Sri Lankan grocery stores are also useful, as you get more tamilian items there.
