Nearly two years after the Fort Langley IGA burned down, Lee’s Market is set to open on Sunday. and producers that he wanted to buy as much local. Now he will be carrying everything from vegetables, cheeses, meat, eggs and honey that all come from the Fraser Valley. “The beef we will sell is natural and comes from a great family who raise beef right here in the Fraser Valley. So customers are going to know where their meat comes from,” said Lee. The rustic beams throughout the store were fashioned from Douglas firs harvested at UBC’s Demonstration Forest in
Maple Ridge. Two large garage doors, one on the west wall of the deli, will allow customers to enjoy their coffee and food on the patio. The store will have a large section for organic produce. “We’ll still be carrying name brands, but we’ll have a wider selection of natural, organic and local products,” Abreo told The Times earlier this fall. “We are more passionate about what we are selling. We are telling a story here.”

Before the fire, the store was called Fort IGA. After a lot of thought, the Lee family decided to carry on business under the “Lee’s Market” name. This allows them to support more local suppliers and carry a wider variety of natural products. Socializing and shopping will return, and the popular deli, which covers almost one third of the store, will go a long way to re-establishing a much-missed convenience in the village. Lee’s Market is named after Robert Lee, his brother Peter, and Robert’s nephew, Charlie (who runs the Walnut Grove IGA). Lee put out a call to farmers
