Kozlov Centre

The residential growth corridor of Barrie, Ontario, along Bayfield Street at the intersection of Bayfield and Livingstone, where the city’s northward expansion toward the foot of Georgian Bay has created a suburban commercial catchment whose working-class, young family, and diverse immigrant household purchasing culture the Kozlov Centre serves through a multi-anchor grocery and community services format, gives the property a practical daily-needs retail identity for the Barrie North and Georgian Bay residential community. FreshCo anchors the grocery and daily-needs category as the primary food provisioning format for the value-oriented Barrie North household, with Metro serving the full-service grocery purchasing occasion as a secondary grocery co-anchor within the same commercial address. Corr Blimey Bakery and Corr Blimey British Shoppe, the British food specialty retailer and artisan bakery whose Barrie location reflects the significant British immigrant community in Georgian Bay Ontario, give the property a British cultural food identity. Spice Mart South Indian Take Out, Grocery and Catering gives the property a South Indian food identity for the Barrie South Asian household.

Sleep Country Canada serves the mattress and sleep products retail category. Fabricland serves the fabric and sewing supplies category.

La Diperie gives the property a Quebec-founded artisan ice cream identity. BUDSSMOKE Cannabis Superstore serves the Ontario cannabis retail category. Dollar Tree serves the value and household essentials category.

The property’s commercial role in Barrie North is the Bayfield Street community regional mall: a FreshCo-anchored grocery and daily-needs format whose Corr Blimey British community food identity, Spice Mart South Indian dining culture, and Talize Thrift large-format secondhand floor give the Barrie Georgian Bay catchment a practical daily-needs and culturally diverse community retail destination in the northern residential expansion corridor of Ontario’s fastest-growing mid-size city.
