The grocery game heats up as Ottawa-based chain Farm Boy is opening its first Etobicoke location this fall. The 20,000-square-foot Etobicoke location is slated to open this fall at the Shoppes of Alderwood plaza at 841 Brown’s Line. While the store has a wide selection of produce, sustainable seafood, meat, snacks, bulk food and prepared-meals, Farm Boy CEO Jeff York is quick to point out this is not the place to stock up on household items. The company started as a small produce store in Cornwall in 1981 and now has 24 locations in Ontario. As of now, the closest Farm Boy locations to Toronto are in Pickering Town Centre and Taunton Gardens in Whitby.
