Mirvish Village

Retail Insider’s Q2 2026 Canadian Food Service Report examines resilient restaurant spending, tougher traffic competition, franchise platform growth, value-led QSR strategy, coffee and breakfast pressure, and the growing role of food halls, mixed-use projects and flexible formats.

Canada sees middle market squeeze, Metro's Carmen Fortino and London Drugs' Clint Mahlman retire on same day, Pepper Lunch closes in Richmond, 16,000 fake World Cup merch items seized, No Frills opens 1st Lloyminster store, and other news.

Mirvish Village begins opening at the former Honest Ed’s site with independent retail, food halls, heritage restoration, and public gathering spaces.

The mixed-used project includes a substantial and diverse retail offering, including a market, micro retail, restored heritage buildings, and a Bestco grocery store. It's unlike anything seen in Canada.
