PriceSmart Foods opens with full Asian grocery offering in Burnaby, B.C.

Hundreds of residents of Burnaby came out to the brand new PriceSmart Foods store in Station Square for its grand opening celebration on Saturday, December 19.

The store, a full Asian supermarket concept operated by the Langley-based Overwaitea Food Group, carries thousands of authentic, high-quality items sourced directly from Asia. It also has a full PriceSmart Foods Kitchen with a hot Chinese food buffet, dim sum, barbecued meats, and sushi – all made fresh in the store. The PriceSmart Foods bakery carries fruit buns and can make custom cakes to order, and the store’s full service seafood counter can prepare seafood to any style customers request.

The unique combination of these ready-made options and thousands of authentic grocery products is complemented by the PriceSmart Foods team, which is known for going the extra mile for its customers and community.

City of Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, Coun. James Wang, and Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan attended Saturday’s grand opening ceremony to help in the store’s official ribbon cutting along with PriceSmart Foods president Darrell Jones.

The guests and store managers Alan Ma and Jacky Ho took part in the cutting of a pig roast and dotting of the lion head before the event concluded with a lion dance to bring prosperity to the store.

“We are so excited to be back in the Metrotown area with our incredible new store,” said PriceSmart Foods president Darrell Jones. “This store is one-of-a-kind, with a huge variety of authentic Asian products with the prices, service and high standards PriceSmart customers can trust.”
