LoJo is the nickname of Lower Johnson Street. There are 40 stores where you will find clothing, fashion, restaurants, body care, gardening, hair salons, and much more! It is for funky local independent businesses and boutiques.
On the south side of LoJo is the beautiful garden walkaway called Paper Box Arcade, where you can find the world’s largest selection of Converse. On the North side of Lower Johnson Street is Market Square, featuring more than 35 independently owned and operated local shops, eateries and a nightclub. To get to LoJo from Yates Street go down Waddington Alley past Victoria’s favorite Italian Restaurant and BC’s oldest continuously operating bakery.
