The new establishment, driven by entrepreneur Jaime Jiang, features over 1,500 references of Asian and Canarian food, and is open to the public from Monday to Saturday in the Jinámar Industrial Estate.
The Jinámar Industrial Estate in Telde is now home to the largest Asian products warehouse on the island. Suko Canarias, a project by entrepreneur Jaime Jiang, has opened its doors with 3,000 square metres of space and over 1,500 references, combining direct retail to the public with supply to professionals in the restaurant, hospitality, and distribution sectors.
The inauguration, which was attended by institutional representatives and local business figures, marks a commercial milestone in Gran Canaria. The commitment to the island is not coincidental: as company sources explained, the project arose from the need for Asian products in Lanzarote, where during and after the pandemic, exports faced delays and, in many cases, did not arrive. This gap in the market transformed into an opportunity that has ultimately consolidated in Telde with a significant investment.
The catalogue of Suko Canarias includes thousands of references of Asian food imported from various countries, alongside a selection of Canarian products. The offer features ramens, Japanese and Chinese sauces, special beverages, frozen products, oriental snacks, and traditional kitchen items such as Japanese knives, woks, and Chinese teapots. The integration of local production into its offering allows customers to find everything from basic and fresh products to frozen items, beverages, sauces, spices, sweets, and specialised articles.
One of the most notable aspects of the project is its impact on employment in Gran Canaria. According to the company, over 80% of the workforce is made up of Canary Island workers, a figure that reflects the company's commitment to generating job opportunities in the islands and contributing to the economic development of the municipality. This commitment to local employment underscores that Suko is not just a commercial project, but an initiative that strengthens the economy of Telde and its surroundings.
The location in the Jinámar Industrial Estate positions Suko as a strategic asset in one of the main distribution and commerce centres of the Archipelago. The area hosts other significant companies, facilitating logistics and access for both professionals and individuals.
In addition to its focus on the professional sector, Suko Canarias opens its doors to the general public. In its facilities, it is possible to find everything from basic and fresh products to frozen items, beverages, sauces, spices, sweets, and specialised articles, along with a selection of Canarian products. The company presents itself as a new shopping option for those seeking variety, quality, and good prices in Telde.
The opening of Suko in Gran Canaria responds to the growing popularity of Asian cuisine in the islands. From the influence of K-dramas, which have spiked interest in Korean cooking, to the establishment of Japanese, Chinese, and Thai restaurants, the demand for authentic and quality ingredients has grown exponentially. With this project, Telde positions itself as a hub for distributing oriental products that will cater not only to the restaurant industry but also to end consumers looking to experience authentic flavours in their own kitchens.
The establishment is located at Calle El Procesador, 17, in the Jinámar Industrial Estate, and is open to the public from Monday to Saturday, from 10:00 to 19:00 hours. This wide opening hours facilitate access for both professionals needing to stock their businesses and individual customers wishing to explore the range of oriental products without restrictive hours.
