KaleMart24, a Montreal-based modern convenience retailer focused on better-for-you food and beverage options, is getting ready to open its first Toronto location at 601–603 Yonge Street.
The company’s Toronto store is scheduled to open in June 2026 and will move into a corner unit that previously housed a Hasty Market, which closed in 2023, and the earlier Brownstone Bistro and Bar, according to Retail Insider. The approximately 1,800-square-foot space sits along Yonge Street, one of the city’s busiest pedestrian corridors. While this marks the brand’s Toronto debut, the opening follows recent announcements related to new franchise partnerships and future locations in Montreal. Customers can expect freshly prepared food, better-for-you snacks, and beverage options designed for quick, everyday convenience.
KaleMart24 was founded by Oussama Saoudi, also known as Sam, who previously founded Toro Beverages. The company opened its first store in Montreal in spring 2024 and has since expanded rapidly. As of January 2026, KaleMart24 operates 10 locations across Canada, including eight in Quebec and two in Ontario. National expansion and site selection efforts are led by Think Retail, a retail advisory firm founded by Tony Flanz.
The Yonge Street location will open inside a four-storey red-brick heritage building in the High Renaissance Revival style. Architectural details include stone dressings, brick-and-stone voussoirs, keystones, lintels, column capitals, stained-glass window transoms, and cast-iron lintels. The building features seven structural bays along Yonge Street, with five-storey towers anchoring each end.
In addition to Toronto, KaleMart24 is planning to open its first enclosed mall location at the Montreal Eaton Centre in June 2026. That store will span approximately 850 square feet and will be located on the Metro level, directly facing the REM entrance. The opening supports the brand’s broader push into high-traffic urban environments.
Looking ahead, KaleMart24 plans to open at least 15 new stores in 2026, with a focus on Montreal and Toronto. The brand typically targets street-front locations, open-air plazas, and office tower ground floors, with store sizes ranging from 850 to 1,500 square feet. Stores emphasize self-checkout, contactless payments, integrated loyalty programs, and sustainability-focused product and packaging choices.
