It appears Andy’s Valleyview IGA in west Edmonton may not be gone for good.

Nearly two years after the longtime west Edmonton grocery store closed, new signage for Andy’s IGA has been approved for its old home at 9106 142nd St. NW.

According to the City of Edmonton, an application for new signs at the former Andy’s IGA location was approved on June 18, and there have since been reports that signage has gone up.

Andy’s IGA closed on July 31, 2024, after almost 50 years in the neighbourhood as longtime owners Andy and Gerrie Taschuk retired.

For many in the community, the store was a fixture, known for its friendly staff and welcoming environment.

After its closure, L’OCA opened in the space in January 2025, bringing handmade pasta, pizza, baked goods, meat, cheese, and specialty groceries to the neighbourhood. The Italian market ceased operations, shutting down both its Edmonton and Sherwood Park stores in March 2026.

In addition to the new signage, Sobeys, IGA’s parent company, has added job postings online for a full management team at an IGA bearing the same postal code.

Daily Hive reached out to Sobeys for more information, including a possible opening date, but has not yet heard back.
