Meiga Supermarket just opened its first-ever location, and it’s in Metro Vancouver.

The concept comes from the Georgia Main Food Group, a BC-based family-owned and -operated company.

Meiga Supermarket, translated from its Chinese name (美萬家) meaning “beautiful family,” just opened, and it is chock full of Asian snacks and drinks, as well as some Western grocery ingredients, making it your one-stop shop for pretty much everything.

There’s also a Chinese takeout section alongside prepared sushi and BBQ, as well as a juice bar and a whole fridge dedicated to hotpot ingredients.

Address: 221 Ioco Road, Port Moody

Spanning more than 45,000 sq ft on the second level at The Post, the produce section alone is about 15,000 sq ft. This place is sprawling, and the offerings are seemingly endless.

While the shelves and aisles are packed with local BC brands, President’s Choice, and tons of locally sourced whole foods, franchise owner David Sherwood tells Dished that a huge draw for customers will be the ready-to-eat offerings.

The “Canteen” area near the entrance will feature a 20-foot carvery with prime rib, roast chicken, salmon, and dozens of cooked vegetable and salad offerings, with seasonal changes. It will be offering a prime rib meal with two sets of vegetables for $15. There’s also a build-your-own-pasta item for just $10 and a bakery where Loblaws makes fresh bread daily.

Address: 658 Homer Street, Vancouver

The hot food bar (called Takeout Town) offers items like made-to-order teppanyaki, ramen, or Hong Kong-style noodle soup, as well as prepared sushi, dim sum, and barbecue, all made daily in-store.

Additionally, you’ll be able to get bubble tea at Harmony Cafe alongside baked goods.
