Our reach is as wide and diverse as the North itself. We serve a broad range of customers, including bustling restaurants, busy catering kitchens, remote mining and exploration camps, corner stores, hotels, hospitalsindividuals, and even national fast food franchises. No matter the scale of your operation, whether you're feeding a team of five or five hundred, we are equipped and ready to keep your kitchen fully stocked and your operations running smoothly and efficiently.

As a full-line foodservice distributor, we carry the brands you know and trust, such as Maple Leaf Meats, Lilydale Poultry, and McCain Foods, while constantly tailoring our product offerings to meet the specific needs of our customers. Our approach is customer-first, we adapt to you, not the other way around.
