In August 2015, Spud.ca opened its first retail store and café, located in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver. The stores are located in urban areas and carry a limited amount of products, in addition to ready-made meals. The stores also serve as an order pick-up point for online orders. Most locations are owned by Spud.ca; however, the company has partnered with existing small format retailers in Vancouver and provides these retailers with distribution.
