CULTUS LAKE — A roadside convenience store selling everything from deli and dairy to camping supplies and snacks has closed its doors for the foreseeable future.

Lakeside Market, located at 3776 Columbia Valley Highway near Sunnyside Campground, confirmed to Fraser Valley Today Wednesday night (Jan. 15) that it has shuttered its business for good.

“Hi Mike, thank you for your support. We have closed our business. Hopefully another business takes our place in the near future,” Lakeside Market said.

As of December 30, 2024, Lakeside said it no longer acted as agents for Purolator, telling customers in a social media post that they would need to contact Purolator directly for information on their packages. It apologized for the inconvenience.
