Downtown Saskatoon grocery store one step closer to becoming a reality

The Standing Policy Committee on Transportation unanimously approved a motion to have a grocery store proposal sent to city council.“We will not only have full-service grocery, we will have an in-store restaurant, the option to have sit down meals and we also offer a large assortment of pre-made or prepared meals as well,” said Murray Totland, director of planning with Vancouver-based company Arbutus Properties.

The developer hopes to see the store open in early 2023 while committee members say this is a positive for the city.Downtown Saskatoon still lacking grocery store, safety concerns remain: study “How can we work together collectively as a community knowing we need to have food where people live, work and play and to see Pitchfork step up in this manner, I am just so excited and elated,” councilor Cynthia Block said.

The store would require changes to traffic patterns including a full traffic signal at Auditorium Avenue and Idylwyld Drive. Despite the approval, the matter still needs to be brought to a future city council meeting before next steps are taken.
