Snack Shop

Westbank grew up as the original town centre of the west side, and it still holds the busiest concentration of shops, services and places to eat anywhere in West Kelowna. Traffic through it is steady in every season and heavy in summer, when the highway carries visitors down the valley and locals thread through the same intersections on their way to the water.

Corner shops and snack counters vary a great deal from one to another, and the phone is the quickest way to settle what to expect on a given day. Some lean toward packaged goods and cold drinks, others toward something made behind the counter, and many keep a rotation that follows what the neighbourhood actually buys. If you are picking up for a group, calling first is sensible, since a small counter can be emptied quickly by a hungry crowd at midday. And if you are new to Westbank, note that parking along the strip is easiest outside the middle of the day, when the through traffic is at its heaviest.
