A new snack shop is coming to Kitsilano where a local chain just left.
Thirstyyy had several stores across Vancouver, including at 2204 W4th Ave. in Kitsilano. Signs at that location indicate a new, similar, business called Snack Pack is opening up soon at the shop at the intersection of West 4th and Yew Street. A business license application for Snack Pack is also with the city.
Other Thirstyyy's were at 1789 Robson St. in the West End, 2253 W 41st Ave. in Kerrisdale, 3378 Dunbar St. (in Dunbar), and 4517 W 10th Ave. in West Point Grey, but all of them are closed now.
Other convenience stores have opened in other former Thirstyyy locations, too, with a store called Milamoon in the Kerrisdale spot. And a business called Snack Street opened up in the Dunbar location last spring. The West End location is now a barber shop.
Thirstyyy appears to have at least one location in Metro Vancouver still, located at UBC in the AMS Student Nest.
