South Surrey’s food scene is set to get healthier. Happy Belly Food Group has announced the opening of a new Heal Wellness location in South Surrey, expanding its reach in communities looking for nutritious and convenient dining options.
The new store is the fourth location under a 10-unit franchise agreement, showcasing the brand’s rapid growth strategy. Heal Wellness specializes in smoothie bowls and smoothies — health-focused quick-service meals that resonate with the area’s wellness-conscious residents.
Mayor Brenda Locke has often highlighted Surrey’s need for community-based businesses that combine lifestyle and economic growth. This expansion fits right into that vision — South Surrey, with its high-income and health-aware demographic, provides a natural home for the brand.
Happy Belly Food Group, a Canadian leader in acquiring and scaling emerging food brands, is betting big on Heal Wellness. Their expansion plan is not just about selling smoothies but about creating an accessible health-oriented food culture across Canada.
Still, while the local story is positive, investors remain cautious. Analysts recently rated Happy Belly’s stock (TSE:HBFG) as a Neutral Hold, citing financial challenges and high leverage despite promising growth.
For South Surrey residents, though, the message is clear: more healthy dining choices are on the way.
