BEVERLY — A downtown grocery store could finally be reopening.

Ward 2 City Councilor Wes Slate said the former Bell Market’s new owner, Ken Patel, wants to open the new Beverly Market “as close to May 1 as he can.”

The downtown has been without a grocery store since Bell Market closed in March 2007 after 42 years. Patel bought the building at 206 Cabot St. last year and originally hoped to open by Christmas.

Patel did not return a call seeking comment.

In anticipation of the market’s reopening, Slate has proposed signs that will allow 15-minute parking on Cabot Street in front of the store and on Bow Street on the side of the store

Planet Organic Market, Canada’s leading natural and organic products retailer, announced the opening of a new store in Vaughan, Ontario. With 13,400 square feet (1,250 square meters), it will be the largest Planet Organic store in Canada and the second Planet Organic store in the Greater Toronto Area, following the opening of the Port Credit store one year ago.

The Vaughan store is located in a new shopping centre complex on the borders of the densely populated communities of Vaughan and Richmond Hill in the northwest region of the GTA.

Planet Organic Market is a subsidiary of Planet Organic Health Corp.,which owns other organic/natural retail and manufacturing subsidiaries in Canada and the United States. Darren Krissie, VP of Corporate Development and CFO of Planet Organic Health Corp., says that the network of Planet Organic stores across Canada and those subsidiaries operating under different banners in the United States will grow through expansions, like this brand new store in the Toronto area, and through acquisitions. She continues that this will be their ninth Planet Organic Market store in Canada and that this store opening follows on the heels of the pending acquisition of the chain of stores in Santa Cruz, California, which was announced in February this year. This growth will help Planet Organic Health Corp to achieve its projected revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30th of roughly $100 million.

Keri Corail, Customer Service Manager, says that Toronto-area customers will now have one-stop shopping for all their organic and natural product needs and that their staff is knowledgeable and passionate about organic products. Customers can take advantage of special grand opening offers.

Planet Organic Market operates natural food supermarkets in Edmonton, Victoria, Calgary, Port Coquitlam, Halifax and in the Greater Toronto Area. Planet Organic Market exclusively sells 100% certified organic produce, all-natural groceries, healthy deli selections, organic meats and fair trade coffee in addition to all-natural supplements and body care products.

Planet Organic Health Corp. (TSX-V: POH), is a natural products industry company, comprising manufacturing, distribution and retail. Recognized as one of the Top 50 Companies on the TSX Venture Exchange, where it is listed as a Tier One company, Planet operates nine natural food supermarkets throughout Canada under the Planet Organic Market banner. The company also operates 48 natural health outlets under the Sangster’s Health Centre banner, two natural health outlets under the Planet Organic Living banner and five natural health outlets under the Healthy’s banner. Another POHC company, Trophic Canada, is the country’s leading manufacturer of natural supplements. The Company has a total of 64 stores throughout the country.

After a failed attempt to enter the organic food scene with its ill-fated Sunflower Markets,SuperValu Inc.has turned to its existing grocery stores to pick up the fight.

The Eden Prarie, Minn.-based supermarket operator said Wednesday it will launch a line of organic and natural products under the Wild Harvest name. The brand will be rolled out this month.

Products will hit shelves at Acme, Albertsons, Bigg’s, Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher’s, Jewel-Osco, Lucky, Shaw’s/Star Market, Shop ‘n Save and Shoppers Food & Pharmacy stores, all of which are owned by the company.

SuperValu (NYSE:SVU) runs more than 2,450 stores, including nearly 1,200 Save-A-Lot stores. It has more than 40 stores in Ohio.

The development comes two months after SuperValu shut Central Ohio’s three Sunflower Markets after little more than a year of operation. The company said the stores, as well as Sunflower shops closed in Indianapolis and Chicago, weren’t meeting goals and it planned to apply an approach to the organics market elsewhere in the chain.

The market is becoming increasingly populated by other major chains. The industry also saw Whole Foods Market Inc.acquire rival Wild Oats Markets Inc. last August, creating a network of more than 300 stores.

In SuperValu-owned stores, the Wild Harvest brand initially will include 150 items with plans to expand it to 250. The company intends to mark Wild Harvest prices about 15 percent below competitors’ products.

SuperValu recorded profit of $452 million on $37.4 billion in revenue last year.

Finding a place to connect to the Internet and work in London is easy. There are Internet cafes everywhere. The Starbucks have Wi-Fi. Fast connections abound. However, the best “cybercafé” in the city turns out to be a grocery store!

Like London itself, the cybercafé scene is characterized by variety, high quality and high prices (especially for a American suffering from the currently unfavorable exchange rate). But one centrally located grocery store might be the ultimate place for travelers to connect and work: The brand-new Whole Foods Market on Kensington High Street.

Whole Foods, which is a grocery store chain headquartered in Austin that caters to health and gourmet oriented yuppies, has major plans for expansion into Europe. Breaking into that market with high-quality foods is a tall order. Cities like London, Paris and Berlin already have plenty of high-quality food options, and don’t really need help from Texas.

So to impress the Europeans, Whole Foods built the Mother of All Markets in London. This three-story behemoth has everything — including a cybercafé.

On the third floor, there’s an open area with comfortable tables (total seating is about 25), easily accessible power outlets and a totally free, super-fast, unlimited-use Wi-Fi network.

Whole Foods is happy to have you come in and use the network for as long as you like — they don’t even care if you buy anything. You will buy something, though, because the store has a pizza station (the pies are baked in a brick oven right there), a gelato joint, a sushi bar, a wine-and-cheese bar, a Starbucks-like coffee place, a juice-and-smoothies bar, plus an unequaled grocery store offering every kind of delicious food imaginable.

The icing on the cake (oh, yeah, there’s a pastry shop, too) is that right next door is a PC World. No, not a magazine — PC World is a UK-based electronics superstore, kind of like a BestBuy.

So if you ever find yourself here in London and need a pleasant place to connect, work and eat, go to Whole Foods Market. This is hard-core Wi-Fi heaven.
