Btrust Chinese Supermarket Grand Opening

An apple a day keeps the doctor away but Btrust owner and operator, Mr. Yi Kui He, chose the fresh green apple to symbolize his commitment to the community that his supermarket will maintain the highest standard of freshness for all the groceries sold in his 52,000 sq. foot store.

Btrust held its grand opening at the front entrance of the newly-renovated store in warm and bright sunshine. Peel Police Chief Mike MetCalf, Mr. Stephen Chu (the president of the Mississauga Chinese Business Association), Mr. Victor Oh (the Vice Chair for SafeCity Mississauga), the property management, and the Mr. Jiang Dianchang Vice Consul of the People Republic of China were all present for the opening. After the ribbon cutting, Northern Lion performed their ritual Lion Dance to ensure both prosperity and good luck for the new store.

Btrust took over the management of the former H & H supermarket last year in November and undertook a major renovation to modernize the store. Today, the store’s ultra-modern looks and excellent organization should serve its new customers well. And, although Mississauga is home to numerous large and modern Chinese supermarkets, the newly-renovated Btrust store is a standout. The customers that the new supermarket attracts will benefit not only Btrust, but also all the other shops in the vicinity.
