About Gateway Cigar Store/Newstands

Our store network serves the daily convenience needs of millions of transit commuters and consumers located in premium office towers, shopping malls, university campuses, condominium buildings, and urban neighbourhoods. 

We offer a convenient product mix of grocery, beverages, prepared foods, everyday essentials, lottery, and tobacco to satisfy ever changing consumer needs & wants. 

Franchise History

Gateway Newsstands was founded in 1983 by Michael Aychental and David Goldman, who started franchising the concept the same year. A family-owned and -operated partnership based in Canada, Gateway has grown to more than 300 stores in North America, including locations in Toronto, New York and Chicago. Gateway emphasizes a hands-on business approach, putting a franchise owner in each of its locations. Franchisees work from kiosks or stores in large office buildings, selling snacks, drinks, candy, cards, tobacco, reading material, lottery tickets and other impulse buys. Open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Gateway stores have less demanding working hours than most convenience stores.
