Vancouver is one cool city, don’t you think? Some of Canada’s best musicians and bands are from there, like Tegan and Sara, Bryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan and Michael Bublé. Vancouver also hosted a hugely successful Winter Olympics a few years ago.
Our West Coast friends always seem to get the best weather, and it’s also such a diverse city and they’re proud of it.
There are also plenty of Vicinity-enabled merchants in the city, which is obviously a major win for us and for all our Vicinity card holders in the city.
Here’s a few of them:
Do you love poutine? Wait, that’s a silly question – of course you do, who doesn’t? La Belle Patate serves amazing poutines on this side of the country, and there are 38 different varieties of poutine to choose from. Yes, 38. You can choose the Italian Poutine, or a Smoked Meat Poutine … OR you can just indulge in an all-you-can-eat poutine fest!
Open Monday to Thursday from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Friday and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 AM (perfect for that midnight snack!), and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Vicinity members can earn one point for every $5 spent, and you can redeem those points for poutines!
If you maintain a healthy lifestyle then you definitely need to check out Chasers Juice Bar where the juices are handcrafted using fresh ingredients! They make both vegetable and fruit juices daily, so there’s something for everyone. Try the Cranberry Juice, Apple Juice, or a Greens Blend, or you can also make your own.
Chasers Juice Bar is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Vicinity members can earn one point for every $1 spent, and those points are redeemable for juice, smoothies, sandwiches or discounts on cleanses.
With two locations in Vancouver, one on Commercial Drive and the other on East Hastings Street, Donald’s Market is a popular independent grocery chain. They’ve been voted BEST Organic Produce and BEST Local Grocer by the people in Vancouver, and it’s easy to see why since they carry a wide range of products, including groceries, personal care products and household supplies.
Both locations are open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Sundays (and holidays) from 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
