About Pars International Foods
Pars International Foods is a compact grocery store at 143 West 16th Street in Central Lonsdale specializing in international staples and packaged goods.
Walking along West 16th Street in Central Lonsdale reveals a practical food cluster just off the main Lonsdale spine, where Pars International Foods serves as a compact neighborhood market at 143 West 16th. This independent grocer focuses on international staples and packaged goods that larger chains often overlook, offering a more curated selection for residents who prefer browsing smaller aisles over navigating big-box warehouses. The store operates Monday through Saturday from 9:30 am to 8:00 pm and Sunday from 10:30 am to 8:00 pm, providing consistent access for those stocking pantries with specific cultural ingredients or everyday essentials without venturing toward Marine Drive anchors.
Transit riders and apartment dwellers appreciate the proximity to Lonsdale Avenue, making it feasible to grab specialty items while running other errands in the area. Since independent markets can shift inventory based on supply and season, calling +1-604-988-3515 before visiting ensures you do not make a rainy trek for a sold-out product. This spot fits squarely into the North Shore tradition of smaller shops reflecting varied food cultures rather than polished national storefronts. Shoppers seeking international basics in the middle of the City will find this market offers genuine neighborhood utility, especially when combined with nearby bakeries for a complete local shopping trip that supports the independent businesses defining our community character.
