Welcome to Chelsea Market!


Since May 1986, Chelsea Market (formerly The Old Kitchen Cupboard Ltd.) operated in the unique and upscale Belmont Village section of Kitchener, Ontario. From this high profile location, the business became known for providing a friendly atmosphere and healthy, ethical product selection to its discerning customers. In October, 2015, Phyllis and Greg Sprout purchased the store, and since then, they and their highly trained staff have focused on offering excellent quality local, natural and organic products, at competitive prices, backed by experienced, friendly and reliable service. Already, several hundred new items have been added to the store's product mix and there are plans to constantly add many, many more. There is an unmistakable buzz of excitement as new and regular customers enter the store!

The founders of ChelseaMarket.ca are passionate about the importance of proper nutrition and the impact of nutrition on health and wellness. They established the business with the idea of empowering their community with the products and knowledge needed for a healthy lifestyle by offering a wide range of organic and natural health foods and supplements. They believe that as well as offering an excellent product assortment to their customers, it is also particularly important to offer a friendly and informative shopping atmosphere. As such, they focus much of their efforts on hiring excellent, friendly and health-conscious staff. They also ensure that their staff is extremely well educated and trained. This has ensured excellent service for their customers and has propelled the company forward to its current status as a market leader in the Canadian retail natural products industry.
