Coho and Happy Belly Forge Path for Purebread’s Expansion in Vancouver’s Kitsilano

Purebread’s latest venture in Kitsilano marks a strategic collaboration with Coho Collective Kitchens Inc. and Next Level Partners, aimed at advancing market expansion and operational excellence. The decision to establish roots in Kitsilano underscores Purebread’s dedication to community engagement and delivering top-tier baked goods.

Scheduled to open its doors in summer 2024, Purebread’s arrival adds a new dimension to Vancouver’s culinary landscape. This move is part of a broader partnership strategy between Coho Collective Kitchens Inc. and Next Level Partners, a division of Happy Belly Food Group, designed to propel Purebread’s growth and elevate its presence across British Columbia, with aspirations for national expansion by 2026.

Fueled by a commitment to quality and innovation, Purebread is leveraging this collaboration to fortify its brand and deepen connections within the community. Sean Black, Chief Investment Officer of Happy Belly, expressed optimism about partnering with Coho to bolster Purebread’s footprint in British Columbia. Coho’s CEO, Andrew Barnes, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the alignment of this partnership with Coho’s mission to expand the Purebread brand nationwide.

The selection of Kitsilano as Purebread’s latest destination is strategic. Renowned for its relaxed ambiance, cultural diversity, and tight-knit community spirit, Kitsilano, or ‘Kits,’ provides an ideal backdrop for Purebread’s distinctive bakery experience. With a demographic mix comprising young professionals, families, and culinary enthusiasts, Kitsilano emerges as a natural choice for Purebread’s expansion efforts. Andrew Barnes expressed enthusiasm about Kitsilano’s potential to evolve into a culinary hub, offering both residents and visitors an unforgettable gastronomic journey.
