He says a team of 22 firefighters arrived to find the business “fully involved in flames.”
The fire was reportedly contained to one unit, and extinguished with “minor damage” to surrounding units.
O’Riordan says no one was injured in the fire, and its cause is now under investigation.
St Johns Street was temporarily closed while crews worked.
TransLink tells 1130 NewsRadio that westbound lanes reopened around 5 a.m. and a single eastbound lane reopened, allowing the transit service to cancel its detours.
Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story suggested that the fire started in Port Moody Liquor Store. In fact, the fire reportedly started in a neighbouring business. The liquor store, while damaged, remains open Wednesday.
