About MargoFresh

Explore the world... next door.

A woman-owned specialty grocery store in Ottawa's Centretown — fresh ingredients, a daily kitchen, and a welcome that feels like family.

Our story

Opened in April 2023, right on Gladstone.

MargoFresh opened its doors in April 2023 in the vibrant Gladstone neighbourhood of Ottawa's Centretown. The idea was simple: a corner shop where the food is as honest as the welcome — a place to explore the world without leaving the neighbourhood.

We're proudly a woman-owned business — built from the ground up with hard work, good food, and a lot of heart. Every day behind the counter, every recipe, and every welcome is shaped by the woman at the helm.

We're a specialty grocery store with a coffee-shop kind of vibe. Browse a range of fresh fruits and vegetables, shelves of international groceries, locally roasted aromatic coffee, and a cheese bar featuring artisanal cheeses.

Everything on our counters is prepared daily in our own kitchen — savoury pies, salads and dips, authentic Lebanese and Mediterranean dishes, made from scratch with quality ingredients and offered at affordable prices.

Run like family, we treat customers like neighbours — because most of you are. Whether you're picking up lunch, planning a party, or just saying hello, you're always welcome at MargoFresh.
