It’ll be the first Farm Boy location in Guelph. Currently, the closest locations are in Waterloo Region with stores in each of the tri-cities.
There are now 42 Farm Boy locations with another three on the way, including the store in Guelph.
Empire Co. Ltd., the parent company of Sobeys, announced an agreement in September 2018 to acquire Farm Boy.
It valued the enterprise, which included 26 locations in Ontario at the time, at $800 million.
