Walmart to open second location in Kingston, Ont.

Walmart is opening a new Supercentre in Ontario.

The retailer will become the anchor tenant of a new SmartCentres development in Kingston next year.

Located at Division St. & Highway 401, the 142,000 square-foot Kingston East Supercentre will feature a full grocery assortment of fresh produce, chicken, beef, pork and seafood, deli foods, baked goods, dairy products, frozen foods and dry items.

Customers will also find Walmart’s full general merchandise assortment, including fashion, home goods, electronics, health and wellness and seasonal items, in addition to a Walmart Pharmacy.

The store will offer pickup and delivery. 

“We’ve been a part of the Kingston community since 1994 and we’re excited to bring this new Supercentre—our second in the city,” said Shawn Fujiki, senior director, real estate, Walmart Canada, in a press release. “This new Supercentre will help bring us even closer to more residents in Kingston, including the downtown and student population, to help them benefit from our everyday low prices.”

The Kingston East Walmart Supercentre marks the sixth planned for Ontario as part of the retailer’s $6.5 billion investment to expand its store and supply chain footprint across Canada.

Walmart’s Lime Ridge Supercentre in Hamilton, Ont. will open this fall. Four additional Ontario Supercentres have already been announced in Brampton, Lindsay, London and Ottawa.
