Waterloo city council got its first look Monday at a specialty grocery store that needs city approval to open on a vacant, central site. Ethnic Supermarket, an expanding Ontario chain, proposes to open on just under three acres at 200 Weber St. N. near University Avenue East. It’s the site of a former White Rose retail store that closed two decades ago and was later demolished. The site is already approved for a restaurant but council approval is required to permit a food store.

It’s a public health concern because “any time you don’t have 100-per-cent vaccination, there’s susceptible people,” said David Aoki, director of infectious disease and chief nursing officer for Waterloo regional government.

A small, specialty food store proposes to open in Waterloo at a long-vacant site at 200 Weber St. N., if city council says yes. A plan going before council April 14 would put an Ethnic Supermarket on the site of a former White Rose retail store that closed two decades ago and was later demolished. The grocery chain is expanding across southern Ontario after it opened stores in Milton and in Guelph. Owner Qing Qing Lin also has a grocery store in Windsor.
