bobolink Posted June 4, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Our family will be in Vancouver for 3 nights pre-cruise. We've learned so much from this board and are very excited about our visit. We'll be staying at the Hyatt Regency and need to shop at a grocery store. Is there one within walking distance of our hotel? On previous trips to Vancouver we were not cruising and had a car. Thanks, Bobolink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IggleDoer Posted June 5, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I recall several 7-11s within a few blocks of the Hyatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban trekker Posted June 5, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2005 If you need a full service grocery store - there is a market place IGA two blocks up Burrard st from the Hyatt - it's next to the Sutton place hotel and just before the YMCA. If you need a more multi-purpose store there is a London Drugs two blocks up Robson from the Hotel Royal Center mall below the hotel has some stores and a Staples and Pacific Center mall with a Sears and Bay and another 100 or so stores is two blocks east on Georgia from your hotel. Hope this helps and enjoy tour visit to Vancouver Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobolink Posted June 5, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Yes, I was looking for a full-service grocery. Sounds like an easy location. We've shopped in that London Drugs store. My kid is an extremely picky eater and it requires a trip to the grocery store to be sure she eats something nutritious during our three week vacation. Thanks all. I know from previous posts that there is a great wine shop nearby. We love Vancouver and are really looking forward to our stay there, brief as it is.

grouchy Posted June 5, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2005 The IGA is your best bet-good choices and a Health food section with Bars etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchick Posted June 6, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 6, 2005 A little bit further from your hotel, but still walkable, is the Safeway on Robson at Denman ( think it's Denman). There is also health food store on Robson, the name of which escapes me. DH & I stopped in there for breakfast and they have killer muffins. They had a full supermarket, just more organic and health-food type stuff, like Whole Foods in the US. There is a BC liquor store on Albernie at Georgia, for your alcoholic beverage needs, if you have any. They have a very nice selection of wines from around the globe.

pebblescon Posted September 21, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yale town has a wonderful full grocery store. The best bakery and fair prices. I cannot remember the exact street but it is the greatest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban trekker Posted September 22, 2005 #9 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Urban Fare and is located at the east end of Davie St just below Pacific Blvd - more of an upscale grocery store. Hope this helps Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
