For the first time ever, game-changing KITCHEN HUB is launching in a grocery store, and Longo’s Liberty Village will be their first venture there with four kitchens from Toronto’s favourite hotspots.
Kitchen Hub, known for providing unbelievable takeout, has four new kitchens at Longo’s Liberty Village. There is a full menu of items from Toronto’s beloved Thai restaurant PAI, Montreal’s buzz-worthy Mandy’s Gourmet Salads, rapidly-growing fried chicken and burger spot Cabano’s Comfort Food and authentic Mexican fare from Elia Herrera of Colibri with Tecolote. Customers can mix and match items from all four restaurants as well as add grab-and-go offerings from The Cheesecake Factory Bakery, and Elle Dee Bakery. Longo’s ready-to-eat items like housemade pizza, bento sushi boxes, salads, roasted chickens and all-day breakfast will also be available. All items can be ordered through Kitchen Hub’s on-site kiosks as well as from KitchenHub.com or third-party delivery apps for contactless ordering, pick-up, dine-in or delivery. |
“We are always looking for new ways to exceed the demands of the quickly evolving takeout channel,” says Adam Armeland, Kitchen Hub Co-Founder and CEO. “We identified an incredible opportunity to not only expand our business model by adding a completely new style of virtual food hall, but also benefit our grocery partner by driving foot traffic in-store and our customers by providing streamlined access to unbelievable takeout in a way that’s never been done before. We are thrilled to partner with Longo’s, another Toronto-founded brand, for this exciting new expansion.” |
“At Longo’s, our Guests are always looking for delicious food as well as increasingly convenient ways to shop for quality meal solutions. We understand the changing demands and behaviours of our Guests and take pride in always evolving to deliver the best shopping experience possible,” said Anthony Longo, President and CEO of Longo’s. “Kitchen Hub’s collection of curated offerings from top-tier brands will ensure that we continue to elevate, innovate, and appeal to our Guests. We are excited to deliver this new offering to our Liberty Village community.” |
Kitchen Hub first opened its doors in 2020, providing infrastructure and services for restaurants to expand with low overhead costs, allowing them to reach new customers while maintaining control of their food production. The brand has also developed proprietary technology, providing restaurant partners with a fully integrated suite of products and access to backend data in real time. With these analytics, Kitchen Hub and its restaurant partners gain further insight into localized consumer trends and hone in offerings to reflect location-specific demands. |
Kitchen Hub offers pickup or delivery via KitchenHub.com, all major third-party delivery services and from all Toronto locations: 935 The Queensway (Etobicoke), 234 Parliament Street (Downtown East), 1121 Castlefield Avenue (Castlefield Design + Decor District) and the newly launched 1100 King St West, (Liberty Village).

Kitchen Hub, Canada’s first virtual food hall, is now home to the first ghost kitchen and second Canadian location of Wingstop, the rapidly-growing and U.S.-popularized flavour brand specializing in cooked-to-order wings, seasoned fries and housemade ranch. Wingstop partnered with Kitchen Hub’s Castlefield location (1121 Castlefield Ave) to offer both takeout and delivery, kicking-off the partnership between the two brands.
“As we continue our accelerated expansion across Ontario and beyond, we are excited to partner with Wingstop, a brand that is like-minded when it comes to growth and being able to offer unique, high-quality products and experiences to our customers,” said Adam Armeland, Kitchen Hub Co-Founder and CEO. “With Kitchen Hub being able to offer its kitchens to Wingstop where brick-and-mortar restaurants may not be available, it was a natural fit to partner with the intention of growing together.”.
Wingstop will bring its 12 signature, bold flavours to Kitchen Hub for takeout and delivery, offering classic and boneless wings and crispy tenders that are always cooked-to-order and hand sauced-and-tossed.
“Wingstop is on a mission to Serve the World Flavour and we know that delivery is a meaningful growth lever to reach more fans,” said Aidan Hay, Wingstop’s International VP of Operations. “We chose Kitchen Hub not only because of their ability to execute takeout seamlessly but due to their innovative technology offering, which provides us with valuable insight into our business in real time. We’re thrilled to kick off this partnership and expand our flavour footprint even further across the Toronto area.”
Kitchen Hub’s mission is to provide an unbelievable takeout experience. Every detail of their three locations — from the design to the technology — has been custom-built to facilitate quick, easy takeout at a consistent high-quality. Each Kitchen Hub location offers takeout from a roster of exceptional restaurants — all in one order. Customers can select menu items from all of Kitchen Hub’s partners, resulting in a combination of dishes they love.
In addition to Wingstop, a number of new restaurants have recently joined the Castlefield roster, including Montreal’s buzz-worthy Mandy’s Gourmet Salads, Azkadenya Authentic Mediterranean Kitchen and Pearl Chinese Dim Sum, making Kitchen Hub a one-stop-shop for meals every day of the week.
Kitchen Hub’s first location on the Queensway opened its doors in January 2020, and a fourth location in Liberty Village will be opening in the coming weeks. The company plans to secure nearly 50 locations across Canada in the next five years.
Delivery and pickup from Kitchen Hub are available via KitchenHub.com or all major third party delivery services. To celebrate the new menu offerings at Castlefield, Wingstop and Kitchen Hub will offer $5 off any order over $15 using the promo code CFWINGS5 on KitchenHub.com for a limited time only.
