Edmonton’s The Lunchbox Sandwich Shop to Close After Building Redevelopment

The Lunchbox, an Edmonton deli and sandwich shop, will close its doors at the end of September after more than three years in business, the company announced this week.

In a statement posted to Instagram on Thursday, Sept. 17, the team behind The Lunchbox said the closure was tied to changes at its building location on 110th Street NW. According to the post, the building is undergoing a major redevelopment, and the shop’s current space is required as part of those plans, pushing the business to shut down earlier than expected.

Closure Tied to Building Redevelopment

The Lunchbox has operated as a go-to spot for deli sandwiches in Edmonton since opening more than three years ago. The business did not specify further details about the redevelopment project itself, only that the space it currently occupies is needed to move those plans forward.

The shop will remain open through the end of September, continuing daily operations until its final day.

Uncertain Future for the Brand

While the current location is shutting down, the team behind The Lunchbox indicated the closure may not mark a permanent end for the business. In its statement, the company said it has not yet decided what comes next and plans to take time to consider future options, without ruling out a return in some form.

No further details were provided on timelines or potential plans for relocation or reopening.
