New Farm Boy sets opening date for second Burlington location

Farm Boy is ready to open a new store in Burlington.

The food retailer that promises farm-to-table fresh products will open on Thursday, Aug. 15 at 3230 Fairview Street.

The new location will be Farm Boy’s 50th Canadian store when it opens. It also recently launched a store in Mississauga.

Farm Boy shoppers can expect fresh produce (including local and organic products), hormone-free and organic meat, dairy and other grocery goods, Canadian beef, pork and chicken, a hot bar and a salad bar, grab-and-go items, a curated collection of private label products exclusive to Farm Boy, a wide selection of international and Canadian cheeses and more.

Typically Farm Boy stores are smaller than other large chain grocers and are located in areas with plenty of parking. At Fairview, the store will be in the former Pier 1 Imports store and is near the Burlington Centre.

“This new location emphasizes our commitment to delivering fresh, quality products, exceptional value, and unparalleled customer service while fostering a deep connection with the local community,” reads a statement released by the grocer announcing the opening.

Farm Boy is owned by Sobey’s. The first store opened in 1981 and has steadily spread across the country.

The original Burlington Farm Boy is at 3061 Walkers Line.
