Inside Nations Experience, a 155,000-square-foot supermarket with an arcade, a playground and all-day dim sum
The company that started as a family-owned produce stand 35 years ago in Cornwall just opened a 20,000-square-foot store in Etobicoke. It’s Farm Boy’s 25th location, but the first in Toronto—though up to 15 GTA and Golden Horseshoe locations are in the works, including one at Lakeshore Blvd. E. and Leslie. We stopped by on opening day to see what’s quite literally in store for Farm Boy shoppers, including goods from more than 100 local producers and over 500 of Farm Boy’s private label products.
Farm Boy’s newest store is located in the Shoppes of Alderwood plaza at Brown’s Line and Evans Avenue:
Farm Boy’s mascot, Lulu the Cow, was there to greet customers on opening day:
There’s a sizable produce section:
Part of it is dedicated to organic produce:
Here’s the berry wall:
Farm Boy–branded paper bags feature specially priced fresh produce. Last week they were filled with Pink Lady apples and roma tomatoes:
Shoppers can enjoy free samples from the store’s various vendors:
