KaleMart24 is gearing up for a sizzling summer with deals in place to open seven new locations, including making its market debut in Ontario, according to commercial real estate expert Tony Flanz of Think Retail.
KaleMart24, dubbed “the Whole Foods of the convenience channel”, is the brainchild of entrepreneur Oussama (Sam) Saoudi who is also the CEO and founder of Montreal-based Toro Beverages.
The first KaleMart24 opened in Montreal in March 2024 with a 1,200-square-foot store in Berri-UQAM, the largest Metro station in the city. Today KaleMart24 has eight locations in and around Montreal, wrote Flanz on a blog on his company’s website.
The Think Retail team is helping the convenience store concept with its expansion plans.
“2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for the brand. Think Retail is thrilled to work with Sam and his team on bringing his bold vision to life,” said Flanz.
“Up next, the plan is to open at least 20 locations in the next 12 months between Quebec and Ontario. In the meantime, confirmed openings include five stores in Quebec and two in Ontario.”

“This is a timely concept that is truly making an impact with its target market: busy young professionals who prioritize making choices and purchasing products that are healthy for themselves and the planet. KaleMart24’s shelves and ready-to-eat offerings are carefully curated to meet the needs of a decerning customer base where quality is paramount,” said Flanz.
“As part of the ambitious expansion, the KaleMart24 team is seeking sites that range from 500 to 1500 square feet across Quebec and Ontario. In an exciting development, KaleMart24 will consider Calgary as a next market entry.”
“If you haven’t visited a KaleMart24 I recommend you do, it’s a delightful experience. The stores are fresh and inviting with a thoughtful design that reflects the brand ethos around sustainability. A fresh take on the classic depanneur, KaleMart24 is a modern retail experience with the latest checkout technology, 24/7 service as well as an attractive loyalty program.”
