Certainly not huge, no. Urban Fresh locations are less than 20,000 square feet, and it looks like several of Farm Boy's latest stores are in that range, too, one as small as 12,000 square feet.

Latest press release about expansion lists seven new stores in the GTA over the next two to three years, and one in St. Catharines.

That might be the new Rideau Centre location.  It is a true "urban format", heavy on the prepared foods and, from what I've seen, wildly successful.
