In August 2015, Spud.ca opened its first retail store and café, located in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver.[4] The stores are located in urban areas and carry a limited amount of products, in addition to ready-made meals.[5] The stores also serve as an order pick-up point for online orders.[6] Most locations are owned by Spud.ca; however, the company has partnered with existing small format retailers in Vancouver and provides these retailers with distribution.
Food-X
[edit | edit source]Food-X is a subsidiary of Spud which operates the back-end operations, warehousing, and fulfillment of grocery items on behalf of partner retailers.[7] They operate a 74,000-square-foot warehouse in Burnaby to fulfill orders to Metro Vancouver residents.[8] In February 2018, Walmart announced that Food-X would handle their e-commerce grocery platform in Vancouver.[9]
Blush Lane
