Helens Grocery

Vancouver, BC

The small independent grocer's store is becoming a rarity… and this one is located in the middle of the block in East Vancouver, surrounded by homes. It has in recent years changed its name to Wing Tat, with no effort to have the old owners' sign removed.

Great to see that some survive and are recycled. A great find.

Nice find and capture, Carol. It seems that all of the new money pouring into the area will continue to put pressure on places like this.

A gem and a great find! V
We love finding little mom & pop stores and restaurants across the countryside. Even more remarkable to find one in the big City.

I'll bet they sell a little bit of everything. I like the processing too!

What a great find. They are certainly disappearing. Wonderful processing.

delectable scene defining an era and a mindset...the remaining small businesses are to be treasured, bulwarks against the larger homogenization...V

Great details with this processing. Nice to see this old survivor. So much more interesting than a supermarket. "V"
