May 7 2025, 6:03 pm

Asian supermarkets have been opening all across Metro Vancouver recently, just look at the recently opened PriceSmart, Smart N Save, and Meiga Supermarket. Now, another Asian grocer is expanding, and it’s a local chain too.

Starting in 1998, Hannam was the first large-scale Korean mart in Western Canada, opening in Burnaby’s Korea Town Centre.

Since then, the grocery store has opened locations in Surrey, Langley, and Vancouver (including an “express” location in Yaletown). Now, it looks like the supermarket is gearing up to open its second location in Burnaby.

Hannam is known for selling an assortment of Korean goods that are difficult to find anywhere else, including grocery staples, Korean snacks, household appliances, and more.

Additionally, Hannam is behind the baked goods chain Good Morning Bakery, located inside multiple Hannam stores.

An opening date for the new location has yet to be announced. Dished reached out to Hannam for more information.
