Wholefoods has more health-related products, but Urban Fare, to me, is focusing more on premium or imported foodstuff. I think they would both work really well. Considering the huge number of people moving into the area, as well as people working in the offices buildings around, I think there is a ready-made market for both to do well.
Excited to see which area Urban Fare would choose to open up in the Lower Mainland: first time for it to venture outside the downtown Peninsula, so it really shows how far the suburbs have come along.  |
Save on Foods and his other grocery banners were recently consolidated under one umbrella called the Pattison Food Group. It's still very early and we're not sure how it will affect the Nestors, Buy-Low and Meinhardt brands. I was thinking because Meinhardt and Urban fares are so similar they could rebrand the existing Meinhardts to Urban Fares.
