Daruma Convenience Store to open new location in Richmond
Japanese convenience store Daruma is opening a new location in Richmond. The company has multiple locations in Metro Vancouver, and this new spot marks its second Richmond location, right in Fisherman’s Wharf.
“This location is steeped in history, where the first Japanese immigrants arrived, leaving an indelible mark on the bustling fishing hub,” Daruma shares with Dished.
“They were the backbone of the local workforce, timelessly engaged in fishing, fish processing, and various aspects of the fishing industry. Their unwavering resilience in the face of challenges, including language barriers and social isolation, is an inspiration.”
