 A layover at Pearson may not be so bad as the nation’s busiest airport embarks on an upgrade of its dining and retail offerings. More than 30 new vendors are opening their doors this year

“For millions of travellers each year, Toronto Pearson is where journeys begin, connections are made and Canada comes to life,” said Deborah Flint, CEO, Toronto Pearson. “By continuing to evolve our retail and dining options, we are creating a sense of place that reflects the diversity, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of our country, while delivering an exceptional passenger experience.” 

Some of the new and notable names passengers can look forward to seeing on the concourse include:

  • Roywoods: The beloved Toronto Caribbean restaurant is bringing its bold flavours to Toronto Pearson with its first airport location, introducing travellers to one of the city’s most recognizable local restaurants.

  • Muskoka Supply Co.: Muskoka Supply Co. offers travellers a distinctly Canadian retail experience featuring apparel, gifts and products that celebrate life in Ontario cottage country,

  • Greetings from Toronto: Designed to capture the spirit of Canada’s largest city, Greetings from Toronto offers locally inspired souvenirs and gifts that allow visitors to take a piece of it with them wherever they travel.

  • CHANEL (fragrance and beauty boutique): The opening of CHANEL’s fragrance and beauty boutique brings a premium luxury shopping experience to Toronto Pearson, giving travellers convenient access to one of the world’s most iconic brands before departure.

  • Aura Beauty: The store showcases a curated collection of Canadian skincare, wellness, and personal care brands, highlighting locally crafted, cruelty-free, and innovative products while supporting Canadian entrepreneurs.

Also in store are a range of new dining concepts, including Boulevard Pizza, OEB Kitchen + Bar, Pret A Manger, Real Fruit Bubble Tea, Brasa Peruvian Kitchen and the airport’s first Mary Brown’s Chicken location, along with elevated lounge and hospitality offerings, including Wait N’ Rest private rooms and a new Plaza Premium Lounge.

The announcement from Pearson notes that this is a landmark year at the airport as it “embarks on ambitious plans to modernize and prepare for future growth through the LIFT (Long-term Investment in Facilities and Terminals) program.”

These dining, retail and lounge openings create more opportunities for travellers to eat, shop and relax throughout the airport while providing Canadian and local businesses with a platform to connect with millions of visitors from around the world.
