Grocery Stores
Small Filipino food mart on Harris Road stocking pantry staples, frozen goods and snacks from the Philippines, with some prepared food to take away. Serves Pitt Meadows and the wider Ridge Meadows Filipino community.
Bayanihan Pinoy Food Mart is a Filipino grocery store on Harris Road in the Town Centre, carrying imported goods and specialty items that a general supermarket typically would not stock. Stores like this fill a specific gap for a community that wants particular brands and products from home, from pantry staples to snacks and sauces that are not part of a mainstream grocery chain's lineup. Its spot on Harris Road puts it close to other small businesses along that same commercial stretch, so it is an easy addition to a regular errand run through the Town Centre.
A specialty grocery store like this one tends to serve two overlapping groups, people who grew up with these products and want the specific imported brands they already know, and neighbours who are simply curious and want to try ingredients they cannot find elsewhere in Pitt Meadows. The imported goods side of the inventory is really the whole reason a store like this exists, since it is stocking items that require sourcing relationships a general grocery store would not bother with for a smaller local market. For residents of the Town Centre and the surrounding neighbourhoods, having a Filipino grocery store within Pitt Meadows itself means not having to travel further afield for these products, which matters for a smaller city where specialty retail is limited. Harris Road already has a handful of small independent businesses along it, and a food mart like this adds to that mix, giving the street a bit more of a local, independent character than the bigger stores elsewhere in town.
