Last week, Coho Collective Kitchens Inc. reported that it has signed agreements for two new Purebread Bakery locations in Vancouver, on West 4th Ave. in the Kitsilano community, and a location at University of British Columbia at 5955 University Blvd. that is scheduled to open in September 2025. These locations strategically position the brand in high-traffic areas, reflecting Coho’s commitment to growth. Coho is a growing company in commercial real estate and food technology, operating fast casual restaurants and shared-kitchen facilities. One of the country’s largest shared-kitchen companies, Coho completed the acquisition of Purebread Bakery Inc. in September. “Coho’s unwavering commitment to Purebread’s growth is a cornerstone of our vision,” stated CEO Andrew Barnes. “We are dedicated to expanding this beloved brand with careful consideration and a strategic approach. These two new locations place us strategically in two of Canada’s premier retail markets-Kitsilano and UBC-allowing us to respond effectively to the burgeoning demand from consumers and retailers.” In late June, the seventh Purebread Bakery location opened at Vancouver International Airport. Coho Collective Kitchens is a family of brands that provides food and beverage entrepreneurs to scale and gain exposure by offering facilities, equipment, and support through its network of commissary kitchens, retail spaces, and restaurants.
