20 July  2020, Calgary – Consul General to Calgary Zaldy Patron welcomed Seafood City Supermarket’s latest investments in the Canadian province of Alberta by gracing the opening of its store in Edmonton, Alberta, on 16 July 2020.

 

Seafood City in Edmonton is the company’s second branch in Alberta following the opening of its Calgary branch on 20 February 2020, whose grand opening Consul General Patron also attended.

 

Seafood City is the biggest Filipino chain of grocerant (grocery and fast food restaurants) in the U.S. It now has four stores in Canada.  

 

In his remarks at the store’s opening, Consul General Patron said that Seafood City’s presence in Edmonton would benefit the local economy amid the COIVD-19 pandemic because it would provide employment for Edmontonians and support the local businesses in the city. Further, he noted that it would also enhance Philippine exports since Seafood City sells various goods and products that are made in the Philippines.

 

Consul General Patron urged the Filipino-Canadians to support Seafood City as well as the other Filipino restaurants and businesses in Edmonton.
