Yaohan Centre (八佰伴中心) is a shopping centre in the Golden Village district of Richmond, British Columbia. It caters mainly to Asian ethnic groups, mainly those of Chinese (including Hong Kong), Taiwanese, and Japanese descent. It is located on Richmond's busy Golden District shopping district, and is next door to another Asian-centric mall, Aberdeen Centre.

Yaohan Centre was owned by the Japanese company Yaohan until the company's demise in the late 1990s. The President Group, a Taiwanese company which also owns the President Plaza mall next to Yaohan, took over the management of the mall ever since.

It is anchored by Osaka Supermarket, which belongs to the group of T & T Supermarket chain stores.

[edit] Transportation

The mall can also be accessed via public transit, funded by TransLink. The 98 B-Line's Capstan Way stop serves Yaohan Centre; the route runs between Richmond Centre and downtown Vancouver. In the future, both the Aberdeen Station and the Capstan Way Station of the Canada Line will be within walking distance of the mall.
