SINS Ethnic Retail Series – Price Smart Foods

By admin | March 17, 2012

Part four in our ten part series on Ethnic Retailers in Canada takes us back to the West Coast to check out Price Smart Foods in Richmond, BC.
But wait a minute! Price Smart is not an ethnic retailer? Its owned by Overwaitea Food Group right? What do they know about ethnic retail?
The Price Smart store in Richmond has been transformed into the best example of a hybrid store that caters to the local population of ethnic Chinese in one half of the store and looks exactly like any other Price Smart in the other half of the store. Pure genius!
Overwaitea had the vision to build a store plan from the community back instead of trying to fit a standard store with a few ethnic aisles in a ethic community. Other retailers should take note!
This series will explore ten ethnic retailers across Canada and take you inside these stores through a series of photos, powered by Field Agent.

SINS Ethnic Retail Series – T&T Supermarkets

By admin | February 26, 2012

Canada’s population is changing. We are one of the most diverse countries in the world with 20% of our population being foreign born and this number is projected to reach 26% by 2031.

Canada’s retail scene has been slow to adapt to this phenomenon with only a tiny proportion of retailers specifically focused on serving the needs and desires of ethnic shoppers.

That is changing and we are seeing a steady growth in the number of ethnic retailers in Canada and this class of retailers are moving away from “mom and pop” formats into large and attractive supermarkets.

This series will explore ten ethnic retailers across Canada and take you inside these stores through a series of photos, powered by Field Agent.

This week’s report starts with one of the biggest ethnic retailers, T&T Supermarkets which is owned by Loblaw.
