Welcome to our 2024 A-List, featuring the very best as chosen by you, our dedicated readers in Burnaby.
This year, community outreach stands out as a shared theme among our winners. Some businesses, rooted in one neighborhood, have expanded to others thanks to the loyalty and demand of local residents. Many go above and beyond to treat their customers as people, not just transactions. And of course, there are the individuals who pour their hearts into the community—attending events, sponsoring fundraisers, supporting local sports teams, and advocating for those in need.
The owners of these businesses are proud to serve our growing region and are excited to showcase their achievements through quality products and outstanding service. So, as you shop around town, use this guide to discover Burnaby’s favorite spots, and share it with family and friends!
We’re inspired by our thriving local economy— it’s needed now more than ever. And remember, Burnaby Now is your destination for local news, sports, events, announcements, and more. Visit us at burnabynow.com and sign up for our free daily newsletters to stay connected with your community.
Thank you, Burnaby! Let’s celebrate the best of our city together.
