One of the grocery stores I regularly shop at closed on December 31 after at least 3 decades in business. Your Independent Grocer (a Loblaws brand) on North Road in Burquitlam closed. It had been an Extra Foods (also a Loblaw banner) for many years and was only a YIG in the past 10 years or so.
The area around Lougheed Town Centre has lost multiple grocery stores in the past several years. Safeway outside the mall closed in 2018. However Walmart and Save-on-Foods are still within walking distance, and there’s another Safeway just one SkyTrain station away.
There’s a Real Canadian Superstore about 7-10 minutes away driving, but I much preferred the smaller YIG.
