New Dining and Shopping Options at YVR
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is enhancing the travel experience with two notable additions: a store from the beloved Canadian brand Roots and the first Pret A Manger location in British Columbia. The Roots store, situated near Gate E88 in the U.S. Terminal post-security, offers a variety of popular items, including cozy sweatshirts, beaver plush toys, and exclusive Vancouver-branded merchandise designed for visitors seeking quintessential Canadian souvenirs.
Pret A Manger's Fresh Start in Canada
On the international departures level, passengers can now find Pret A Manger, a well-known British chain specializing in fresh, healthy meals. This restaurant operates 24 hours a day, providing an essential alternative to typical fast-food options. Its menu features an extensive selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and organic coffee to cater to travelers at all hours, from breakfasts to late-night snacks. As the first standalone Pret A Manger in B.C. and within a Canadian airport, this location is part of the brand’s wider expansion plans, which include two additional branches set to open at YVR by 2026.
Emphasizing Local and International Offerings
The openings of Roots and Pret A Manger are part of YVR's strategy to blend local Canadian retailers with popular international brands. This initiative aims to elevate the passenger experience while reflecting the cultural diversity of travelers passing through the airport. As Roots resumes its presence in airport retail and Pret A Manger prepares for further growth in Canada, travelers can expect a richer selection of dining and shopping options in the months and years to come.
