FOR LEASE
Bacco Market 228 Queens Quay W , Unit 8, Toronto
SUB - LEASE: Beautiful Retail Space + Cafe inside Bacco Market
Step into the rhythm of Toronto’s waterfront and imagine your name above the door—because along the iconic Queens Quay, opportunity doesn’t just knock, it draws a crowd.
This rare waterfront retail opportunity in Toronto places you at the center of one of the city’s most dynamic, high-traffic communities. With the global spotlight approaching—thanks to the FIFA World Cup 2026—this location is poised to welcome an influx of over 300,000 visitors, making it a prime moment to establish or expand your brand in a thriving tourism corridor.
Why This Space Stands Out
Currently operating as Bacco Market, this beautifully curated European-style bottega offers more than just retail space—it delivers a fully realized business concept. Inside approximately 1,200 square feet, you’ll find an intelligently designed layout featuring high-end fixtures, refined leasehold improvements, and a seamless blend of in-store charm with modern convenience through a fully integrated online ordering platform. Whether customers walk in or order from home, the experience remains elevated and effortless.
This turn-key retail business in Toronto is backed by a strong brand identity, a loyal and established customer base, and diversified revenue streams—from specialty groceries and prepared foods to premium imported goods. With existing licenses for lottery, tobacco, alcohol, and food preparation, the groundwork is already in place for immediate operation and growth.
