A quaint community grocery store located just minutes from the Esquimalt Lagoon is up for sale, offering a rare opportunity to take over one of the last remaining corner store-style markets in the region.
Located at 3337 Metchosin Road in Colwood, Lagoon Food Market has quietly served the neighbourhood for decades. Now, it’s listed for $47,500—an entry-level price for anyone dreaming of running their own shop.
The location couldn’t be better, set at the corner of Metchosin and Lagoon roads, the market sits in a rapidly growing residential area, steps from the beach and surrounded by young families and steady foot traffic.
The building comes equipped with a 17-foot walk-in refrigerator, a nearly 10-foot walk-in freezer, multiple beverage coolers, and display shelving—everything you’d need to hit the ground running.
There’s even potential to add a kitchen and convert the store into a hybrid space serving quick meals like sushi, bento boxes, or pizza. A vent system would be required for full cooking operations, but the bones are already there.
With 15 parking spots out front and a loyal local following, Lagoon Food Market is more than just a business, it’s a familiar fixture in the Colwood community.
Interested buyers are asked not to approach staff or current owners directly. The sale price does not include inventory.
What would you do if you had the keys? Turn it into a sandwich bar? A smoothie-and-snack stop for beachgoers? Or keep the nostalgic vibe alive with penny candy and pantry staples?
Either way, this might be your chance to own a piece of local history.
