Find your new favourite store in Mission
Thursday, April 9th, 2009 by GetawayBC.com
There are four main areas in Mission to shop, each with its own unique characteristics. Visit them all and find your favourite area and store.
- In the downtown core, you will find an abundance of independent, locally owned retail stores, restaurants and services. A heritage walk takes you past several specialty stores featuring new treasures to be had and collectibles.
- Along the Lougheed Highway, just west of downtown, there are a number of shopping plazas, fast food and franchise restaurants, retail stores and service stations.
- Between the railway tracks and the waterfront you will find repair shops, a boat repair facility and a neighbourhood pub. This area was the original Mission town centre, and there are plans to redevelop and expand the waterfront area over the next several years.
- The Junction, on London Avenue, is a former industrial site, and includes several major specialty stores, franchise restaurants and a movie theatre.;
