Ontario-based grocery store chain opening new location in Brampton

An Ontario-based grocer catering to multicultural pallets is opening its newest location in Brampton.

First opening in Woodbridge in 2012, Nations Fresh Foods is a grocery store chain with locations across the GTA including one in Mississauga and a flagship store in Hamilton.

The Ontario chain will soon open a new location in the former Leon’s Furniture store building at Kennedy Road South and Steeles Avenue in Brampton, across from Turner Fenton Secondary School.

“Nations Fresh Foods’ mission is to be an innovative leader in the grocery industry in Canada in both product offerings and design by providing a wide range of fresh products from all over the world with competitive and affordable prices,” the company’s website reads.

Along with traditional grocery store departments like produce, deli and bakery, Nations stores also have catering, to-go meals and in-store dining, like its cafeteria buffet in Hamilton and hot bars at the Toronto and Mississauga locations.

Keen-eyed residents have noticed “coming soon” signage in front of the building but no date has been released for a grand opening.

The new Nations Fresh Foods grocery store will open at 535 Steeles Ave. East in Brampton. For more on Nations Fresh Foods visit www.nationsfreshfoods.ca.
