    Grocery Stores in Canadian Urban Centres University of Alberta School of Retailing Applied Research - April 2015 GROCERY STORES IN CANADIAN URBAN CENTRES !1 Table of Contents Executive Summary: 3 Purpose of the Study: 4 Canadian Grocery Industry Overview: 4 Store Types Description: 6 Challenges for Inner-City Grocers: 6 Study Background: 7 Methodology for Optimal Urban Grocery Store Location: 7 CITY-BY CITY ANALYSIS: Vancouver: 10 Calgary: 15 Edmonton: 19 Winnipeg: 24 Toronto: 28 Ottawa: 36 Montreal: 40 Potential Impact of Shoppers Drug Mart: 45 Potential Impact of Smaller Grocery Stores: 46 Potential Effects of amazon.ca and E-Commerce: 47 Conclusion: 48 GROCERY STORES IN CANADIAN URBAN CENTRES !2 Executive Summary This study examines current and proposed grocery store locations in seven Canadian urban centres, as well as mapping out potentially underserved areas which may benefit from new grocery stores. As Canada’s urban cores continue to grow, grocery stores are required to serve new residents. Many residents seek opportunities to shop on foot and increasingly, many inner-city residents do not have access to cars. As a result, conveniently located grocery stores have become increasingly important. Full-service grocery stores are a somewhat recent phenomenon, and their breadth of product and potential economies of scale provides an important element to inner-city neighbourhoods. Ensuring that residents have access to a wide variety of healthy food choices is particularly important, as lack of healthy food choices has been linked to health problems including disease and increased mortality. This study examines high-density inner-city areas in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

    CASE STUDY – July, 2012 Urban Fare Express Installs First Hillphoenix Advansor Transcritical CO2 Booster System in North America When Overwaitea Food Group (OFG) chose The Village on False Creek as the location for its newest Urban Fare Express, the bar for sustainability was set high. As a leader in retail sustainability, OFG had already established aggressive goals for green operations in every area of its business, and The Village on False Creek is known as one of the most livable and sustainable communities in the world, having earned the highest level of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Platinum certification for a neighborhood of its size. OFG is once again setting a benchmark for green retail practices by installing a Hillphoenix Advansor transcritical CO2 booster refrigeration system in its False Creek store. Urban Fare Express is one of only a handful of HFC (hydrofluorocarbons) -free grocery stores in Canada, and this is the first Hillphoenix Advansor transcritical CO2 booster refrigeration system installed in North America. - more - Hill PHOENIX • 1003 Sigman Road • Conyers, GA 30013 / / 770.285.3261 Tel • 770.285.3080 Fax • www.hillphoenix.com - 2 - OFG began experimenting with CO2 refrigeration systems in 2010.

"We are thrilled to announce a new retail partnership with Urban Fare," said Cassidy McCord, Director of Sales.
