A new Longo’s grocery store is opening at 1061 The Queensway, near Kipling Avenue.
A new grocery store will be opening soon in South Etobicoke.
Construction is underway as Longo’s prepares to open their newest location at 1061 The Queensway, just east of Kipling Avenue.
Sobeys own a major stake in Longo’s and both stores will be massive and side by side in a major development.
A 22 and 27-storey towers are also being built at the rear of The Queensway property that will be parallel to the Gardiner and contain almost 1,000 units. The stores will be fronting The Queensway.

There will also be a Sobey’s store in the same complex, to replace two Sobey’s being shut at the Kipling Queensway Mall and Parklawn and The Queensway.
Parkland would be tucked between the two buildings and fronting a Caven Street extension.
“For almost 70 years, we have been focused on providing amazing food, remarkable service and wonderful ‘treat you like family’ culture and we’re so excited to be continuing that legacy here at this beautiful new store,” said Deb Craven, president of Longo’s. “This is the next chapter.”
The family-operated Canadian organization started in 1956 when three brothers, Tommy, Joe and Gus, opened their first fruit market on Yonge Street at Castlefield.

The store has been expanding its presence and now has about 40 locations in Toronto and the GTA.
The grocery is known for high-quality produce, fresh prepared foods, and private label products that many shoppers enjoy.
Some locations also feature Starbucks cafés, stone-oven pizza counters, and full-service butcher counters, though details on what will be included at this new location haven’t been released yet.
Longo’s employs more than 5,000 people, and for nine consecutive years was one of Canada’s Top 50 privately managed companies by the Financial Post newspaper.
