Union Station's Foodie Aisle opens new eateries - Starting in October, the Foodie Aisle will swap new market-style options

TORONTO, Sept. 30, 2024 /CNW/ - Union's Foodie Aisle is nestled on the lower level of the station with a direct connection to Scotiabank Arena.  Whether you're heading to a game, meeting up with friends, or on your way home, the Foodie Aisle is the ultimate food lover's destination. This row of market-style options is undergoing its first rotation of new vendors in October, welcoming Azul, Tut's Egyptian and Blondies Pizza.

The Foodie Aisle was designed with turnkey booths that feature new vendors every few years that respond to Toronto's vibrant food scene. With rotating food options like dim sum, pizza, sandwiches, tacos, fried chicken, and more - the Foodie Aisle caters to all tastes. These food stalls are part of Union Station's continued revitalization spearheaded by Osmington Inc. that is midway through unveiling a mix of over 75 retailers in the country's busiest transit hub.

Originally opened in 2021 with five vendors, the Foodie Aisle offers a diverse selection of cuisine from some of the city's top local chefs. Union has become a home to international brands like Sephora and Nespresso, and Union Market which offers grocery and specialty food items from Kibo, Egg Club, Patties Express and more.  Foodie Aisle is an urban culinary experience not to be missed!

"Union is becoming a destination for food lovers," says Lawrence Zucker, CEO of Osmington Inc.  "Toronto is one of the best food cities in the world and visitors and residents will continue to see new and exciting food options at Union that reflect our city's diverse food culture, matched with the convenience of finding it all under one roof."
