A new "urban concept" grocery store will be opening in Edmonton's downtown Ice District, at the site where the Greyhound bus station had been located up until 2016. Loblaws will be opening a CityMarket grocery store on the site, the Ice District announced in a Monday news release. The location, expected to open in fall 2020, will be the second CityMarket in Edmonton, in addition to one in the Brewery District. "This urban concept grocery store is aimed at all food lovers alike and will provide a great assortment of food for the busy downtown resident," stated the news release. Derrick Pittman, a Loblaws vice president, said the "trendy, desirable" district in downtown Edmonton is a good fit for the CityMarket brand.
