About Lees Overseas Delights
Food travels with people, and a valley built on farming and fruit picking has always drawn cooks and traders from a long way off. Lees Overseas Delights operates from 141 Westminster Ave, in the downtown core just off the main corridor.
A food business working in an imported tradition rewards a bit of curiosity from the customer. Asking what is worth trying, what is made on the premises and what has come a long way to get there usually produces a better answer than guessing from a shelf or a board. Portions, formats and how things are best kept or reheated at home are all fair questions to put across the counter, and anyone shopping around a dietary restriction should say so plainly rather than assume. Small food businesses in a tourist city also move with the seasons, so a call ahead avoids a wasted walk in the quieter months.
Westminster Avenue crosses the downtown grid a short distance from Main Street, which puts the door within an easy walk of the shops, the offices and the Okanagan Lake beaches at the north end of the city. Penticton draws daily traffic from Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos and the smaller communities around it, so a downtown food stop serves a good many more people than the city population alone would suggest. More can be found at leesoverseas.com before making the trip in.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
