Queen’s University Gets Its Own Grocery Store and Pharmacy

Two new retail outlets in the Queen’s Centre, a grocery store and a pharmacy, will benefit all members of the Queen’s University community.

“These services will be a great addition to the Queen’s community, and will undoubtedly enhance the campus experience not only for students, but also for faculty and staff,” says Ann Tierney, Vice-Provost and Dean of Student Affairs. “Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing these outlets to Queen’s.”

Grocery Checkout Fresh Market, a 1,400 square-foot grocery store, opened February 14. The outlet sells everything from meat and produce to tea and coffee, and offers many products sourced from local Kingston suppliers.

“This is a really exciting moment for Queen’s students,” says Ashley Eagan, Vice-President (Operations), AMS. “Grocery Checkout’s wide array of fresh and competitively priced products will make healthier eating options a lot more accessible for students with incredibly busy schedules.”

DrugSmart Pharmacy, which will include a dispensary and a variety of athletic and healthy lifestyle items, is scheduled to open next month.
