Burnaby is a Shopper’s Shangri-la

With three major retail centres and an array of charming shops, Burnaby is the perfect one-stop city for everyone on your Christmas shopping list.

Known as “Shopping City,” Metropolis at Metrotown is a shopper’s paradise with nearly 500 shops and services.  As BC’s largest shopping and entertainment complex, Metropolis has it all – basic accessories, designer handbags, chic yoga apparel, rugged boots and much more.  If you can think it, Metropolis is sure to have it. 

As one of the city’s most distinct outdoor shopping areas, the Burnaby Heights neighbourhood also offers outstanding shopping experiences.  Located in the historic area of Hastings Street, the Heights District is well known for its quaint stores and one-of-a-kind shops.  Leaf through some fun comics at the Tazmanian Comic Connection, peruse the antique and furniture stores, tour one of the glittering jewellery shops or browse one of the many popular clothing and shoe stores that are unique to this charming and character-filled area. 

To round out your shopping adventure, visit Brentwood Town Centre and Lougheed Town Centre.  Home to an array of hip and trendy stores, these family-friendly shopping centres offer a wide range of holiday gift-giving ideas – from bicycles and blue jeans to televisions and tea sets (and virtually everything in between).

Whether you’re interested in unique home decor, sparkling gems, designer labels, everyday basics – or nearly anything else – Burnaby’s shopping centres and quaint stores offer the ideal retail solution.
