About Toko Convenience

Strathcona, one of Vancouver's older residential neighbourhoods, is where a family-run shop called Toko Convenience opens its doors on November 4, 2026, at 977 East Hastings Street, on the corner of East Hastings and Raymur Avenue. The store's founders are Indonesian, and according to their own account they started the business after repeatedly failing to find, in Vancouver, the Indonesian products they had grown up with. Toko Convenience imports snacks, cooking ingredients, spice packs, and pantry staples directly from Indonesia, including the instant noodle brand Indomie, which remains one of the most recognisable Indonesian exports internationally. The shop's stated aim is to make Indonesian food less unfamiliar and more affordable for the wider community, while also giving Vancouver's Indonesian diaspora a local source for ingredients that are otherwise hard to track down outside specialty importers or online shipping. A soft opening is planned first, with ready-to-eat meals prepared at a separate kitchen in nearby Richmond described as "coming soon" rather than available from day one; for now, the focus is on packaged goods rather than prepared food. Customers who want a product the shop does not stock can reach out directly by email or by messaging the store's Instagram account to request it, a model common among smaller diaspora grocers that cannot yet carry the full range of a dedicated import warehouse. The opening was reported by Daily Hive, a Vancouver-focused news outlet, which identified the location and the Indonesian ownership; the store's own website corroborates the address, the products, and the Indonesian-import focus, though it does not name the founders directly or publish a phone number. No street-level opening hours had been published as of this listing, since the shop had not yet opened; this detail is left blank rather than estimated. Toko Convenience adds a grocery option to a Vancouver-area Indonesian community that, within the directory, has so far been represented mainly by restaurants and a trade and consular presence rather than retail food shops.
