From CTV News:
Windsor, ONT. An official ground-breaking for a new specialty grocery store in east Windsor took place last Tuesday. Mercato Fresh officials are planning a 16,000 square foot grocery store on Banwell Road between the EC Row expressway and Tecumseh Road East.
"We're basically your one stop shop for all your fresh food needs," says co-owner Mark Romualdi. "We basically have a restaurant within our store."
Mercato Fresh was created by Romualdi and restaurant owner Jonathan Reaume. This will be the second location in southwestern Ontario and will be similar to the Mercato Fresh in Chatham which opened in February 2020 and employ 50-60 people.
Industry experts say the anticipated fall opening may work to the independent grocer's advantage should current border and supply chain issues smooth out in the meantime.
The market is expected to include a bakery, sushi, Italian style dishes and freshly prepared food in a cafe setting.
