Good Earth Coffeehouse has opened a new location inside Indigo at Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby, expanding the Calgary-based coffee chain’s presence in British Columbia.
The coffeehouse, located at 4700 Kingsway, is the latest location for Good Earth and operates within the Indigo bookstore at the shopping centre. The company says the site is intended to serve shoppers, families, students, local residents and visitors.
The opening adds another location to Good Earth’s network of more than 50 coffeehouses across Canada. The company, which began in Calgary in 1991, has grown through franchising.
“Here, we’re not just serving coffee. We’re excited to become a meaningful part of the local community and create a space where people genuinely feel welcome.” said Tara Tohidi, owner and operator of Good Earth Coffeehouse at Indigo Metrotown. “We want our coffeehouse to be warm, comfortable, and inviting; a place where guests can enjoy great coffee and our menu, but also slow down, connect, and enjoy meaningful moments. For us, it’s about creating more than just a coffee stop.”
Good Earth said the new location reflects its partnership with Indigo, with the two Canadian brands operating together within the bookstore environment.
“We’re proud to continue expanding Good Earth’s presence in British Columbia and to welcome guests in Burnaby to our newest coffeehouse,” said Gerry Docherty, President & COO of Good Earth Coffeehouse. “Our partnership with Indigo gives us the opportunity to bring the Good Earth experience into spaces where people are already gathering, exploring, and connecting. We look forward to becoming part of the daily routines and special moments of the Metrotown community.”
The company is planning a grand opening event on Aug. 29, featuring food and drink sampling, entertainment and free brewed coffee throughout the day. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m.
The new coffeehouse is open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
Good Earth Coffeehouse said it focuses on coffee, fresh food and customer experiences while maintaining a focus on social and environmental responsibility. Its first coffeehouse opened in Calgary in 1991, and the company has since expanded through franchising.
