Where Culinary Innovation Begins

Discover the M&M Food Market Legacy

In 1980, our journey began with the opening of our first store in Kitchener, Ontario. Our mission was clear: to provide customers with restaurant-quality foods, exceptional value, and unparalleled service. Originally known as M&M Meat Shops, our early product line-up showcased top-quality, flash-frozen, exclusive offerings not found in any other food retailer. Though our name has evolved, our commitment to excellence remains unchanged.

Evolution Through the Decades

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Canadians welcomed us into their homes and communities. With the support of our Franchise Partners, we expanded our footprint from coast to coast, becoming a trusted brand for mealtime, special occasions, and everyday dinners. Our involvement with local and national charities reflected our dedication to both food and service, earning us numerous accolades in franchising, community engagement, marketing, and culinary excellence.

A Fresh Perspective in 2016

Under new ownership in 2016, we embarked on an exciting revamp of the brand. Our stores underwent a complete transformation, featuring a fresh and inviting open-concept shopping environment. Renovations, updated color-coded packaging, and the introduction of convenient Pantry Essentials and Kitchen Essentials products made navigating our freezers a breeze. Our product line expanded to include a diverse array of quality food choices, catering to various tastes and dietary needs. The transition from M&M Meat Shops to M&M Food Market symbolized our commitment to offering more than just restaurant-quality meats. Our Real Food Promise ensures that all our products are free from artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners, while our commitment to sustainable seafood underscores our dedication to responsible sourcing.

M&M Food Market Today: 2020 Celebration and Beyond

In 2020, we proudly celebrated our 40th anniversary as a Canadian company. Despite facing unprecedented challenges during the pandemic, we remained dedicated to serving our customers. Stringent safety measures were implemented in our stores, and we introduced convenient curbside pickup options, enhancing our online ordering experience. In support of our communities, we donated PPE, gift cards, and initiated a meaningful partnership with BGC Canada (formerly Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada). Throughout this period, we continued to innovate, introducing new tastes and meal solutions to help families create real food for real life.

Tomorrow's M&M Food Market: A Vision for the Future

As we move forward, our commitment to culinary innovation remains steadfast. New ideas, new products, new customers, new stores—these elements define our journey for the next 40 years. Join us as we continue to serve communities across Canada with the same passion and dedication that sparked our beginnings, shaping the future of M&M Food Market.
