Farm Boy opens inside Rideau Centre

_ (Via Farm Boy) _ ** Ottawa, ON (December 7, 2017) ** – Farm Boy today announced the official opening of its newest urban fresh food experience, Farm Boy Rideau; set to open its doors this Saturday, December 9th.

Located at the mall entrance off Rideau Street at Sussex Drive, this marks the 24th store for the locally grown fresh food chain which began over 36 years ago in Cornwall, Ontario.

True to their roots, the new compact Farm Boy store will offer customers extraordinary fresh food, exceptional value and an outstanding shopping experience with the friendly service and personal attention Farm Boy customers have come to expect.

Inside, customers will find Farm Boy’s famously fresh produce, butcher quality meats and artisan cheese, plus natural, organic and locally sourced foods.

Catering to the mall’s busy shoppers and urban dwellers, the store will include more grab and go options and will introduce a new Fresh X-press station that will offer fast-casual lunches and dinners, grilled to order. With a menu that changes daily, the new station will feature tasty chef-inspired selections like grilled paninis, seared Farm Boy sausages and gourmet grilled cheese; all made hot and ready to take home or enjoy in the store’s seating area.
