As summer heats up and families gear up for vacations, BBQs and back-to-school shopping, it’s difficult to find any time in between drop-offs and errands to enjoy the so-called “break”.
Fortunately, there’s still one place in Richmond that helps alleviate some of that seasonal stress.

Today, with a curated mix of 42 retailers ranging from essential services and groceries to gifts, fashion and dining, it’s more convenient than ever, all with that same familiar neighbourhood vibe.
Skip the hassle (not the variety)
Blundell Centre compresses your errand list into a single, streamlined stop.

Of course, locals know it’s not just about errands; Blundell Centre is a place to pause, refuel and reconnect. You can enjoy bite-sized breaks at CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice, Uno Beef Noodle, Broli Kitchen or Otaru Japanese Kitchen or opt for quick comfort at the McDonald’s Drive-Thru.
