<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.
