Earlier this week Canadian grocer Longo Brothers Fruit Market opened Pronto Eats, its new store format focusing on meals and snacks. Located in the PATH pedestrian complex and the Hudson Bay’s Centre shopping mall and office development in downtown Toronto, Longo’s said the outlet carries a wide variety of ready-to-eat and semi-prepared meal and snack options, along with a specialized Longo’s Café service.

“For those who work inside or nearby, the PATH is a place where time, quality and convenience intersect, and this is at the core of what Pronto Eats plans to deliver,” said Rosanne Longo, consumer spokesperson and brand ambassador at Longo’s.
