7 d. ago Ontario grocery store making it easier to identify and buy Canadian products

Canadian grocery products are more important to identify than ever, and one Ontario grocery store is making it easy to find them.In the wake of the U.S. government's implimentation of tariffs on a slew of major imports from Canada, and the Canadian government's retaliatory action which sees 25 per cent tariffs places on a swath of American products, more Canadians than ever are making an effort to search for Canadian brands and products produced within the country.While certain retailers, like the LCBO, as well as a number of restaurants, have already taken action by removing American products from their shelves and menus, others will continue to stock products from south of the border, meaning Canadian consumers will have to take extra care when shopping if they hope to keep their pantry stocked with Canadian goods.While that one viral sketch from This Hour Has 22 Minites did a pretty good job at identifying a number of Canadian alternatives to American products, it ...

3 w. ago Toronto grocery store has permanently closed due to rising costs

A grocery store in Toronto known for its local and organic produce has officially closed its doors following two years in business. The Sweet Potato, located at 1678 Bayview Ave., opened up in Toronto's Leaside community in 2023, following the success of its flagship location in The Junction.The brand's founder, Digs Dorfman, first started his journey in 2005 when he began running the High Park Organic Market. Operating with the mentality that eating well shouldn't cost a fortune, Dorfman began forming relationships with local farmers and officially launched The Sweet Potato. In 2017, the brand's Junction location moved into a 100-year-old building on Vine Avenue, just around the corner from its original store, adding a bakery, butcher, and cheese island. Last week, the grocer's team announced that their Leaside location would be closing its doors, to the dismay of loyal customers, who relied on the store's ethically sourced food without the out-of-reach pri...
