Infinity Mart Opens Premium Convenience Store at Bay Street

Infinity Mart, the Canadian convenience retail brand known for its clean, modern take on the neighbourhood corner store, has opened a new premium convenience store at 801 Bay Street in downtown Toronto. The location sits right at Bay and College, one of the busiest intersections in the city’s Bay Street Corridor  putting it within easy reach of students, hospital staff, condo residents, and everyone else who moves through this part of downtown every day.

If you live, work, or study anywhere near Bay and College, here’s what the new store means for you.

Where to Find the New Store

The store is located at 801 Bay Street, inside the ground-floor retail strip of The Royalton condominium, right at the corner of Bay Street and College Street.

A few things that make this spot stand out:

• Steps from College Subway Station on Line 1 (Yonge-University), which also puts you a short ride from Bay Station and the rest of the downtown subway corridor.
• One of Toronto’s most walkable neighbourhoods. The Bay Street Corridor consistently ranks near the top of Toronto’s walk-score charts, daily errands here genuinely don’t require a car.
• Surrounded by major institutions, including the University of Toronto, Toronto Metropolitan University, several downtown hospitals, Queen’s Park, the Financial District, and Yorkville.
• Multiple streetcar and bus routes run along Bay and College, so the store is easy to reach whether you’re walking, biking, or taking transit.

In short: this is a convenience store near Bay Station in Toronto in the practical sense that matters most; it’s on the same subway line, a short hop away, and it sits in one of the most transit-connected pockets of the downtown core.

What Makes This a Premium Convenience Store

Convenience store used to mean cramped aisles, flickering lights, and a shelf of expired chips. Infinity Mart is part of a wave of Canadian retailers trying to change that image, and this new premium convenience store in Toronto is a good example of what that shift looks like in practice.

Here’s what sets a premium format apart from a typical corner store:

• A cleaner, more open layout. Wider aisles, better lighting, and a store design that makes it easy to find what you need without digging through cluttered shelves.
• A more curated product mix. Rather than stocking everything under the sun, premium convenience stores focus on the categories people actually reach for  quality snacks, cold beverages, and everyday essentials  rather than filling shelf space with slow-moving inventory.
• Consistent standards across locations. Infinity Mart operates more than 25+ stores across Ontario, Manitoba, and Quebec, and every location  whether it’s a standalone store, a gas station combo, or a vape-focused format  runs under the same brand and operating standards.
• A focus on the customer experience, not just the transaction. That means faster checkout, better stock availability, and a store that feels like a genuine neighbourhood amenity rather than an afterthought.

For a neighborhood as dense and fast-moving as the Bay Street Corridor, that combination matters. This isn’t just another convenience store in downtown Toronto, it’s built for people who want a quick stop that doesn’t feel like a compromise.

What’s on the Shelves

Infinity Mart stores are stocked with the everyday essentials people actually need on a walk home or a break between classes. Based on the brand’s product partnerships, shoppers at the new Bay Street location can expect to find:

• Snacks from familiar names like Frito-Lay and Doritos
• Beverages, including Coca-Cola products, Red Bull, and Monster
• Frozen treats, such as Mini Melts ice cream
• Beer and other alcohol, through the store’s LCBO and Beer Store partnerships (subject to local licensing)
• Lottery products, via OLG
• Everyday essentials  the kind of grab-and-go items that make a convenience store genuinely convenient: drinks, snacks, and household basics in one quick stop

If you’re a student between classes, a hospital worker on a short break, or a downtown resident who just needs milk and a coffee before 9 a.m., this is the kind of stock list that actually saves you a trip.

Note: exact in-store selection can vary by location and season check with the store directly for real-time availability.

Hours, Access, and Getting There

One of the biggest advantages of this location isn’t what’s inside the store, it’s how easy the store is to get to.

Getting there:

• By subway: A short walk from College Station (Line 1), with Bay Station and the broader downtown subway network just a few stops away.
• By streetcar or bus: Multiple routes run directly along Bay and College, making this one of the easier stores in the city to reach without a car.
• On foot: The Bay Street Corridor is a genuine walker’s neighbourhood. This is a convenience store in downtown Toronto that’s realistically reachable on foot from thousands of nearby residences, dorms, and offices.
• By bike: The area is well served by bike infrastructure, making it an easy stop on a commute.

For current store hours, the best move is to check the store listing on the Infinity Mart website or call ahead, since hours can vary slightly by location and season.

Why This Opening Matters for the Neighbourhood

The Bay Street Corridor is one of the densest, busiest pockets of downtown Toronto  but density doesn’t always mean convenience. Anyone who’s lived or worked in the area knows the frustration of needing something small (a coffee, a phone charger, a late-night snack) and not having a fast, reliable option nearby.

A few reasons this new convenience store near Bay Station in Toronto fills a real gap:

• High foot traffic, limited quick-stop options. Between the hospitals, universities, and office towers, this stretch of Bay Street sees a constant flow of people, many of whom are looking for exactly the kind of fast, no-fuss stop a convenience store provides.
• A growing student and resident population. With U of T and TMU both close by, plus a steady stream of new condo buildings, the local population that relies on convenience retail keeps growing.
• Shift workers and hospital staff. Nearby hospitals mean a steady population of people working odd hours  exactly the kind of customer a well-run convenience store is built to serve.
• A Canadian-owned alternative. Infinity Mart is a homegrown Canadian brand, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Toronto  supporting local hiring and community-level investment as it grows.

For a neighbourhood this busy, having one more genuinely reliable option matters more than it might seem from the outside.
