Farm Boy announces official opening date of brand new Mississauga grocery store

Fans of Farm Boy, the popular grocery store chain growing across Ontario, will be happy to hear that Mississauga’s first location will open next month.

Today, it was revealed that the new Port Credit store will open on July 18.

The store will be located at 175 Lakeshore Rd. W. in the new and growing Brightwater community, a 72-acre development that’s taking shape along the city’s waterfront. Last year, Port Credit West Village Partners (PCWVP), the group designing the new community, said Farm Boy will be the area’s new anchor tenant.

Brightwater, once completed, will feature 3,000 new homes, 300,000 square feet of commercial, restaurant, retail and office space, and 18 acres of green space.

Farm Boy, which started as a 300-square-foot produce store in Cornwall, Ont., in 1981, has steadily increased its presence across southern Ontario over the past few years, opening new stores in Toronto, Oakville, Burlington, and Oshawa.

“Fresh produce has always been the heart and soul of our business; our buyers visit local markets to hand-select only the best for you and your family,” Farm Boy’s website says. 

“But we’re also proud to offer a wide variety of other wholesome and tasty foods for you to enjoy, many of them locally sourced.”

The newest location will offer produce, meat, seafood, a bakery, cheese, a deli, beverages and vegan, gluten-free and keto products. 

The Mississauga store will be Farm Boy’s 49th location.
