| 63 | + <h2>The Disappearance of Small Grocers</h2> |
| 64 | + <p> |
| 65 | + We were interested in mapping two major trends observed in |
| 66 | + Kensington Market over the past 20 years: (1) the disappearance |
| 67 | + of small grocers and (2) the rise of cannabis stores. |
| 68 | + </p> |
| 69 | + <p> |
| 70 | + We were particularly interested in mapping the change of these |
| 71 | + two categories as they symbolize the broader shift in Kensington |
| 72 | + Market from a historically livable neighbourhood, where |
| 73 | + amenities for everyday life such as produce and raw food stores |
| 74 | + are accessible and close by from a variety of small businesses, |
| 75 | + to a retail destination, largely centered around shopping and |
| 76 | + leisure. |
| 77 | + </p> |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + <p> |
| 80 | + The proliferation of cannabis stores is both notable and |
| 81 | + noticeable. In 2025 there were 5 cannabis stores in the |
| 82 | + neighbourhood. For a neighbourhood the size of Kensington Market |
| 83 | + to have this many cannabis stores is telling of the broader |
| 84 | + change from serving the local community to serving customers |
| 85 | + from outside the neighbourhood. |
| 86 | + </p> |
| 87 | + <p> |
| 88 | + Increasingly a site of leisure and consumption, landlords may |
| 89 | + have favoured higher-paying tenants, such as cannabis retailers, |
| 90 | + over other businesses such as traditional grocers. Rents go up, |
| 91 | + local amenities get priced out, the neighbourhood changes. |
