Episode Details

IGA is making a triumphant return to west Edmonton after a brief hiatus, reclaiming the historic Valleyview spot that’s been a grocery staple for over six decades. The vintage horse statue — a beloved landmark since the 1960s — remains proudly in place, symbolizing continuity through changing store owners. After L’OCA’s short-lived culinary experiment folded due to financial woes, IGA reopened just five months later, bringing back familiar staples, a bakery, and deli — plus 45-50 new jobs, including some former L’OCA staff. The store’s deep ties to the community were celebrated when longtime owner Andy Taschuk attended the reopening, and Sobeys honored its Jewish heritage with a donation to the local Jewish Federation. This isn’t just a store — it’s a neighborhood heartbeat.
