Walmart announces new Supercentre coming to Lindsay, Kawartha Lakes
Kawartha Lakes – Walmart Canada has announced plans to open a new Supercentre in Lindsay, marking a major milestone in the community’s continued growth.
The approximately 142,000-square-foot store will anchor the new SmartCentres development in the northwest corner of Lindsay, at Highway 35 and Sylvester Drive. It is expected to open in 2028.
“Walmart is a sign of how far Kawartha Lakes has come,” said Mayor Elmslie. “We’ve spent years preparing for growth by investing in City infrastructure and working alongside the development community. Reaching this milestone took the shared commitment of previous Councils and City staff, as well as Walmart and SmartCentres, all working together to move this project across the finish line. It’s something our whole community can celebrate.”
The new store is expected to offer a full grocery selection, general merchandise, pharmacy, Vision Centre, and in-store pickup and delivery.
Walmart Canada’s announcement follows years of growth planning and infrastructure investment in Lindsay. The City has worked with the development community to support new housing and prepare municipal services for a growing population. New neighbourhoods, including those developed by Tribute Communities, and Kingsmen Group Inc. have welcomed more residents to Lindsay and increased demand for local shopping and services. Together, this growth has helped lay the foundation for new commercial investment. The Walmart and SmartCentres development will also create local jobs and give residents more shopping options closer to home.
“We’re incredibly excited to finally bring a Walmart Supercentre to Lindsay,” said Paula Bonner, Vice President of Format Development for Walmart Canada. “We know people in the community have been asking for a Walmart, and we’ve heard them. We can’t wait to open our doors and give customers more choice, greater convenience and access to our everyday low prices, including on fresh groceries.”
The Lindsay store is part of Walmart Canada’s $6.5 billion investment to expand its stores and supply-chain network across Canada. It is the fifth new Walmart Supercentre announced for Ontario as part of that investment.
