It looks like another longtime spot is shutting its doors in Richmond.
The White Spot inside CF Richmond Centre has recently posted a goodbye sign announcing that its last day of service will be September 15, 2025.
The message thanks guests for their years of support and encourages them to visit nearby Richmond locations on Ackroyd and Sweden Way.
For those who grew up in the city, this outpost holds plenty of nostalgia.
Remember the movie theatre? The Sears?
This White Spot outpost opened up sometime in the 90s and after a 20+ year run and having raised over $200,000 for the Richmond Hospital Foundation, its run is coming to an end.
For many, you likely know White Spot as one of the longest histories in B.C.’s dining scene.
Founded in 1928 by Nat Bailey (yes, the stadium is named after him) as Canada’s first drive-in restaurant, the brand has grown to 132 locations across B.C., Alberta, Ontario, and Asia, including its premium quick-service offshoot, Triple O’s.
Known for its burgers and iconic Pirate Pak meals, White Spot continues to serve over 17 million guests annually.
However, the reason for the closure isn’t quite clear.
The mall is in the middle of redeveloping into a mixed-use hub with 300,000 square feet of new retail, a new entertainment district, public green spaces, and condo towers.
According to our source, the rise of lease prices in the mall may have played a role.
And with two other White Spot locations still operating in Richmond, including one just a few blocks away on Ackroyd Road, customers won’t have to travel far for their Legendary Burger fix.
Still, the closure of the Richmond Centre outpost marks the end of an era for locals.
It will join other recent Richmond food closures like A Bao Time, Chengdu Spicy Restaurant, and Ember Indian Kitchen.
