Nature's Emporium Plans Ontario Expansion

Canadian health food chain Nature’s Emporium is expanding its number of stores. The chain announced it will be opening its first location in downtown Toronto, with plans to expand in the Halton Region of Ontario.

Located at 1 York Street inside Menkes' landmark One York development, the approximately 25,000-square-foot store is expected to open late 2022 to early 2023 and will employ approximately 100 people. Nature’s Emporium, which offers a collection of private brand products, landed on Instacart in May.

"We decided to seize the opportunity to bring a unique shopping experience to Toronto's South Core District and Harbourfront communities," said Joe D'Addario, Chief Executive Officer, Nature's Emporium. "Our new location inside Shops at One York will offer exceptional all-organic produce, healthy handcrafted meals to-go, superior supplements, natural health and beauty essentials, and much more. We aim to be your 'eat well and live better', one-stop-market for food and health. Our team carefully selects and curates items intended to inspire healthy choices and healthier communities — this is the Nature's Emporium difference and we're beyond excited to bring it to the residents, office workers, and visitors in the area."

Founded in 1993, the grocer has four locations in Ontario, Canada, with stores in Newmarket, Woodbridge, Maple and Burlington.
