Sobeys grocery store opening up on the edge of Kensington Market

As if the opening of a Loblaws-owned Independent City Market at the northern edge of Kensington Market wasnt already enough, it looks like Sobeys is moving into the neighbourhood too.

A site plan included in RioCan’s leasing portfolio advertises retail opportunities for the Bathurst College Centre, a 131,700 square foot complex located at 410-444 Bathurst Street.

Among the anchor tenants already confirmed to occupy three of the nine units available over two floors of retail are Sobeys, Scotiabank, and Basil Box. Meanwhile, a third floor will house offices for the University Health Network.

Kensington Market has previously defended against development plans from Starbucks and Walmart.
