Vancouver banh mi shop to close original location after 37 years of operation
More and more longstanding restaurants in Vancouver are announcing closures, and we’ve just received word of another one that plans to close after operating for over 37 years.
Thomas Vu, co-owner of Ba Le Deli and Bakery, shared with Dished that it will be closing the doors of its flagship location at 701 Kingsway in Vancouver.
“Our flagship Ba Le Deli & Bakery location ā serving the community for the past 37 years ā is preparing to close its doors for the final time due to upcoming construction on the site,” shared Vu.
Ba Le got its start all the way back in 1987, after couple Hue and Trinh Le immigrated to Canada and opened the first Ba Le location in the city. Ever since then, the banh mi destination has gone on to open numerous locations throughout Metro Vancouver, serving guests delicious banh mi and coffee.
“This spot has been a Vancouver staple for generations, and while itās a bittersweet moment, weāre grateful for the memories and support from our loyal customers over the years,” Vu added.
