Loshusan Supermarket – A Kingston Staple
Loshusan Supermarket is one of Jamaica’s most well-known full-service supermarkets, with two Kingston locations serving shoppers across the island. The flagship store sits inside the Barbican shopping complex on East Kings House Road, while the second branch — known as John R. Wong Supermarket — is located on Tobago Avenue in the heart of New Kingston’s financial district.
Both locations carry a wide range of local and imported groceries, fresh produce, fine wines, specialty cheeses, fresh meats, and a variety of international products that are hard to find elsewhere in Jamaica. On-site amenities like a bakery, juice bar, restaurant, and Paymaster bill payment make Loshusan more than a grocery run — it’s a one-stop shopping destination.
Loshusan and John R. Wong are the same brand. The New Kingston branch is often listed online under the John R. Wong name, but it operates under the Loshusan umbrella and shares the loyalty rewards programme.
