Orbit Ukrainian Store

Ukrainian Store in Edmonton

Orbit has served Edmonton's Ukrainian community for more than a hundred years, starting as a parcel-shipping service to the old country and growing into a small but essential hub for groceries, books, crafts, and clothing from Ukraine, alongside translation, travel booking, and notary services. It's less a store than a place people come back to because someone there speaks their language, in every sense.

Orbit Ukrainian Store has served Edmonton's Ukrainian community for more than a century, opened at the start of the 1900s and still going strong under its fourth owner.

What's here:
- Ukrainian groceries - pickles, jam, honey, tea, juices, Kyiv Cake, and chocolates, all made in Ukraine
- Books, CDs, crafts, clothing, and gifts
- Parcel shipping to and from Ukraine - the service the store was originally built around
- Translation services
- Travel and plane ticket booking
- Notary services

What started as a way to send parcels home has grown into something more - a small shop where regulars are known by name, and where newcomers to Canada often stop by just to speak Ukrainian with someone.
