Smart stores for Burnaby buildings
Burnaby runs on three different clocks: Metrotown's office towers, Brentwood's new residential high-rises, and the Big Bend's warehouses that never close. Vending machine services in Burnaby have treated all three the same — Tidewater doesn't. Each placement gets a smart store format and assortment matched to who's actually walking past it.
Three Burnabys, three different smart stores
Metrotown and Brentwood are growing into genuine tower districts, and with that comes the same amenity competition downtown Vancouver knows — new residential buildings courting tenants, and office managers working to justify the commute over the SkyTrain ride.
Meanwhile, south Burnaby's industrial lands — Big Bend, Glenlyon, the riverfront distribution parks — run shifts that end long after every nearby food option has closed. A stocked smart store in the break room is often the only real food option a night crew has within a fifteen-minute drive.
Where we’re placing in Burnaby
Metrotown. Office towers and the residential cluster around the Skytrain — coolers and combo formats.
Brentwood & Gilmore. New high-rise communities — lobby smart stores as a leasing differentiator.
Big Bend & Glenlyon. Distribution and manufacturing sites — high-capacity formats for shift crews.
BCIT & Canada Way. Campus-adjacent offices and institutional buildings with steady daytime traffic.
Burnaby placements lean on the combo micro market for industrial break rooms and towers, with smart coolers in residential lobbies and gyms. For 24/7 sites, see our industrial placements.
Burnaby — local questions
Do you cover Burnaby's industrial areas?
Yes — Big Bend, Glenlyon, the Marine Way corridor and the Lake City business area are all inside our regular service loop, with restocking scheduled from live inventory data rather than fixed routes.
Can a new Brentwood or Metrotown tower add a smart store before occupancy?
Absolutely — developers and property managers often install during lease-up so the amenity is live for first move-ins. We coordinate with your construction or FF&E schedule.
What does hosting cost a Burnaby building?
Nothing. Tidewater owns, stocks and services every machine; the building provides a power outlet and the floor space. That's the whole arrangement.
How quickly can you install in Burnaby?
Two to four weeks from a signed placement agreement, including the site walk, assortment plan, delivery and same-day vision-system training.
