The famous 31 flavours will soon be coming to Ottawa’s historic ByWard Market

A building permit posted at the front door of 36 ByWard Market Square shows Baskin-Robbins was given approval to open a store at that location.

Construction is ongoing inside the two-storey retail building and it’s unclear when it will be open.

The property was previously operated by the ByWard Fruit Market, which closed in May after 26 years in business.

Baskin-Robbins operates nine other locations in the nation’s capital, including one just steps away from the market in the Rideau Centre.

The American-based chain operates thousands of locations in the United States and internationally.
