Trying to find some beef jerky made in Vancouver

Yea I know how stupid this must sound, but my brother and I are on a quest to find this particular beef jerky that's only made in Vancouver, BC. It's one of those childhood memories that you want when you grow up. haha

We searched the yellowpages and got their info:

Jimmy's Fine Foods Ltd
604-253-1821
2020 Dundas Street,
Vancouver, BC V5L 1J4


Apparently the phone number is disconnected. So we're not sure if they're still in business.

It comes in a cardboard box, not plastic packaging. If anybody knows of a store that sells it or lives near this manufacturing company and can buy some, please PM me. Thanks!! btw...I live in California

I went into 411.com and came up with "jimmy's" on Dundas street so it's still listed and the map is attached.
All we need now is for someone local to drive by and confirm.......

I tried both phone no's -- recording says both are "out of service".
Next time I'm in area, I'll take a drive by, now that I'm curious about Chinese Beef Jerky.
You should also post on www.G35.ca as there are quite a large number of asian G/Z owners living in the Vancouver area.

Cool...thanks a bunch! It's not that this beef jerky is chinese but rather the way it's cut. They're cut thin, not the traditional thick slice. I'm drooling...

I checked the T&T in Burnaby and all they carry now is Soo's jerky, made in Richmond.
