Toronto’s Union Station continues its strategic evolution into a retail destination with four significant tenant announcements this spring, including Japanese apparel giant UNIQLO and French patisserie and boulangerie, Nord Lyon. The transit hub’s commercial transformation is accelerating with these additions, reinforcing its dual role as both transportation centre and shopping hub.

Las Muns, the rapidly expanding Spanish empanada concept with over 50 European locations, has officially launched its first North American operation at Toronto’s Brookfield Place, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s global growth strategy.

The company, which has built its reputation on quality-focused, visually distinct empanadas across Spain, Italy and Portugal, over the past decade, has established its inaugural Canadian location steps away from the Hockey Hall of Fame in the downtown PATH system.

Brookfield Place is further diversifying its tenant mix with several first-to-market food concepts joining the downtown Toronto complex.

Under Beauleigh‘s exclusive leasing mandate, Brookfield Place continues evolving its 2.6-million-square-foot complex to serve both the Financial District’s daytime office population and the area’s expanding residential community. The property’s strategic mix of quick-service dining, retail, and essential services reinforces its position as a key downtown Toronto destination.

Shake Shack will redefine shopping centre dining with its 4,300-square-foot Yorkdale location opening February 12, introducing an elevated fast-casual concept that breaks from traditional food court positioning while setting the stage for ambitious nationwide growth.

Jersey Mike’s Subs opened its first downtown Toronto location yesterday at Union Station, adding to the transit hub’s growing roster of notable food establishments. The opening marks the latest addition to Union Station’s evolving culinary landscape, which already includes the recently opened Shake Shack and anticipates the arrival of Mediterranean favourite Miznon.
