KaleMart24

Canadian convenience retailers increased their focus on food, beverages and repeat visits during Q3 2026 as merchandise sales remained soft. Couche-Tard, 7-Eleven and KaleMart24 are reshaping assortments and formats, while margins and operating demands remain central tests of their strategies.

17 locations have now been secured, with eight of those under construction and expected to open by the end of the fall, while five additional franchisees are still looking for locations.

Montreal-based KaleMart24 plans a major Toronto debut in 2026 as the wellness-focused convenience brand accelerates national expansion.

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.

KaleMart24 opens its third store near Montreal’s Bell Centre, offering health-conscious consumers eco-friendly convenience shopping in the downtown core.

Described as the "Whole Foods Market" of convenience stores, the new KaleMart 24 is being rolled out in Montreal this year with plans to aggressively move into new markets including Toronto.

The groundbreaking Canadian retail concept will launch this year catering to customers seeking healthy, natural and organic products. Many locations are planned for the future.

The "Whole Foods of convenience stores" will make its market entry this year in an effort to attract a new generation of on-the-go consumers.
