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.
