Fujiya

[Vancouver]

Has anyone tried out the new free delivery from Fujiya market? Details here: Fujiya website. I wonder if it will have any impact on Stongs service?

Cheers!

Haven't tried the delivery but did pick up lunch from there last week whilst passing through the 'hood.

Noticed a big increase in what was on offer not just simple Sushi-all looking very smart and well organised.

Lunch was as always tasty and economical.

Not suprised by their moving into cyberspace although the site isn't quite finished yet.

ps-what is Stongs?

My Japanese is rudimentary but that's a word I don't know at all.

Stongs is a market on Dunbar that delivers:

They have a great meat selection and a lot of specialty items.

Still not sure why a Japanese specialty store on Clark and Venables with a smaller downtown branch would have any affect on Stongs- a higher end mainstream grocery store on Dunbar, not too far from 41st?

Grocery delivery is grocery delivery. Seems that Vancouver is starting to get a few players:

Fujiya (Japanese)

Stongs (General)

Spud (Organic)

Organics@Home (Organic)

They all have their own niche, but must have some impact on each other, no?

Cheers!

The Fujiya site states that free delivery is for minimum orders of $100 and in the downtown core only.
