Aisle 24 - Franchise

Aisle 24 

Invest in the next generation in grocery convenience

Automation and self-service are reshaping the grocery shopping experience. Aisle 24 franchises offer you the opportunity to harness these powerful trends to deliver an innovative twist on the corner store.

Aisle 24 markets — cashierless grocery stores catering to last-minute essential items — serve the booming Canadian residential property market. We provide master-planned communities, condos, residential complexes, and other shared living communities with a high-value amenity.

Why Aisle 24

Community Markets - Designed for standard commercial real estate, Aisle 24 community grocery markets have grabbed the attention of some of the largest real estate developers in North America.

Resident Markets - Created to monetize underutilized space inside residential buildings, Aisle 24 can build a fully functional and secure market in as little as 300 square feet.

Exclusive locations - Your Aisle 24 Market will be the residents’ closest and easiest source for a wide range of high-quality food, beverages, confectionary, and personal health products.

Modest time commitment - Achieve a high ROI with a lower amount of labour compared to running a traditional franchise. Designed for self-service, your main responsibility is to regularly restock, clean, reconcile inventory and monitor security.

Reliable technology - Powered by cloud-based account management backend and simple checkout kiosk for product scanning and payment, Aisle 24s Markets have no cash on-site, while you get access to sales analytics to better serve the customer.
