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.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan and Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan attended the grand opening event and helped in the store’s official ribbon cutting, along with PriceSmart Foods president Darrell Jones and senior vice president of operations Jamie Nelson.
