Farm Boy is still making moves around the city! The grocer is now expanding into another spot in Toronto.
The new Farm Boy location will be opening at 81 St. Clair Avenue East and is set to operate by the Fall of this year.
Although quite popular, if you’re unfamiliar with Farm Boy, it’s basically a Canadian version of Trader Joe’s, which is all the rage in the USA for those looking for organic produce and a salad bar. Plus, it has delicious (must-try) baked goods.
The Canadian chain actually reported back in 2019 that part of its growth strategy involved plans of expansion throughout southern Ontario, and they’ve definitely kept to that.
You’ll find the news about the opening right on the Farm Boy site, in which there are already 44 stores across Ontario.
We’re so excited to see where else Farm Boy pops up!

We’ve been seeing major expansion for Farm Boy across Toronto and the GTA recently, which is awesome news. The growing chain is now operating more than 40 stores across Ontario.
Its latest location will potentially be located at the MetroCentre at 200 Wellington Street West.
Digital photos were submitted to the City this past summer, and it looks like the Farm Boy may be confirmed for that spot.

Although the submission was recent, the images are actually from 2019. That is to say, it’s not a last-minute plan by the grocery chain by any means.
As far as opening dates or even pictures of the actual spot, those have not been released yet. Although we can’t confirm anything one hundred percent, keep your eyes open for updates that should come shortly!
New Farm Boy locations in Toronto that we can confirm will be at 5245 Dundas Street West which will open September 16 and 744 Dupont Street opening sometime this year.

Ontario-based, fresh local food market chain, Farm Boy has finally opened in Toronto as of March 1st. They are already expecting lots of expansions across Canada in the next few years.
The new, 20,000 square foot fresh market in Etobicoke – Farm Boy’s 25th location – celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Farm Boy has exploded since 1981, from Cornwall, Ontario to a more ‘Whole Foods-style shopping experience,’ with over 24 stores around the province. Some of the newer locations have shown up in Whitby, Pickering, Kitchener and London, Ontario. Their next store opening will be in in Hamilton.
It provides a unique and friendly, fresh-market shopping experience featuring their signature farm-fresh produce, organic, natural and locally sourced foods, plus their popular store brands and wholesome fresh prepared meals, made from scratch in the Farm Boy Kitchen. They also feature salad and hot bars with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Farm Boy carries its own line of private label products with 60 new products launched in 2017.
Farm Boy already has begun to talk about expansions into Southern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area, followed by the rest of Canada. “When I joined Farm Boy we travelled around the world looking for the best food ideas and then we ranked our stores against the best in the world and then we decided where we needed to get better. We decided we wanted to be more like Wegman’s. We wanted to be more like Trader Joe’s. We wanted to be more like Whole Foods. We wanted to be more like great stores Marks & Spencer Food. Great stores. We got on a mission to change ourselves. It was an evolution because you don’t change overnight. We evolved into a store that has three distinct shops now,” said CEO Jeff York.
According to Retail-Insider, they would like to be defined as a fresh food experience and not as a grocery chain.
